I have an issue with my knee which began after running a marathon.  As soon as I stopped running within a few seconds I couldn't put any weight on the knee if it was bent, straight it was OK.  A few months on it's much better but there's still a small amount of discomfort putting weight on the knee when it's very bent (90 degrees ish) and also it begins to ache if my leg is immobile in a bent position for long periods of time e.g. driving.  There's no locking or clicking.  My regular physio thinks it's just inflammation and will sort itself given time/rest but I guess I'm looking for a second opinion since I've been resting it for about 3 months now.  Should I be seeing a doctor and pushing for a scan?

Thanks,

Brilliant event.  Not particularly successful as we decided to call it a day 16hrs in after injuries to 2 of our 4 team members.  Since we were way down the leaderboard it wasn't worth the 2 remaining runners carrying on.  Keen to do it again next year with better training and hopefully a full team of 5.  Kudos to the soloists, no idea how you can do that!

I'm using Oakley Whiskers which are about as light as you can get, but not cheap.

I don't use it myself but I know some use surgical spirit

Is there even any solid science that milk is benefitial for recovery?  What about the 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein?

Programmes like this make you question lots of things you considered as facts.  That's probably a good thing, but can leave you more confused than when you started!
