The Truth About Running & Knee Pain - What Your Doctor Might Not Tell You!
Are you sidelining your runs because of nagging knee pain?
Have you been told that running will wear down your joints and lead to arthritis?
You’re not alone…but what if I told you that advice might not be the whole story?
In this episode, we’re uncovering the hidden truths about running and knee pain that your doctor might not have shared. We’ll bust common myths about arthritis, marathon training, and joint health—backed by science and real-life stories from runners just like you.
What you’ll learn:
- Does running actually cause arthritis? (Hint: The research says otherwise!)
- Why 25% of marathoners are told to stop running—and why they shouldn’t.
- The top risk factors for arthritis (that have nothing to do with running).
- 3 proven ways to overcome knee pain and keep running strong!

If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or worried about knee pain, this episode will give you hope, confidence, and a game plan to keep running for years to come.
