Experts Discuss Running, Walking, and Their Impact on Knee Health
Experts explain that running, including marathons, does not inherently damage knees if approached with proper training and gradual load increase. Knee pain often arises from sudden mileage jumps, weak muscles, previous injuries, or poor technique. Both running and walking place demands on joints, but the key factor is whether the body is conditioned to handle the activity. Sensible progression and adequate recovery help prevent joint problems, making running a sustainable fitness option for many.
