Is that a muscular or tendon issue? Might it clear up with a bit of rest plus ice and hot water bottle treatments? I've slow jogged another 2 miles just now - doing so on successive days has made my ambling sabre tooth tiger-like grace return, which can't of course be verified due to extinctageness.
suspect I injured soft tissue that support knee cap with combination of overuse, fallen arches, overpronation. Though overtense achilles & never warming up probably didnt help (clamber on treadmill after work with degree of dread, desperation and shuffle off like neurotic shoshonensis). Slow jogging may be the solution. But when I reduce speed I hobble more sometimes, get more out of sync (will give it a go). And rest can go with weight gain, which of course doesnt help.
Unless we pull a major rabbit out of a hat? LiFepo4 has very low environmental impact, is much cheaper than lipo (after Elon spectacularly hit his self inflicted buffers he put it in tesla 3). Go completely green and fly on hydrogen?
After you've healed up: Slow jogging is a step change, ie smaller steps. If your feet don't land flat, your steps need shortening, which means you can get away with less elevation, hence less impact on joints.
I had serious issues with both knees. Started with snapped cruciate 25 years ago,... various ops etc.. Cut a long story short, bad arthritis right knee, moderate on other. Seen loads of physios over years, initial NHS ones had me jogging on treadmill.. Terrible. Saw sports physio ( previously employed by English Rugby team).. His advice.. Forget jogging in any description. Get on your bike.
Any form of jogging, however slow or "Low impact", will eventually cause me to resume fast walking... trouble is, since resuming cycling I've stopped walking, which has led to atrophy of my calf muscles which now wake me up with intensely agonising cramps after a mere 5 miles of walking - and this only took two years!
This rot ends here! It's the same when people suddenly start lifting heavy weights too soon: muscles get starved of blood and cramp, which (slowly) leads to growth of blood vessels to supply them, which takes time. Weirdly, slow jogging hasn't led to night calf and shin cramps, yet, but walking 5 miles did. I'll ghost ninja waft step and wander another 2 very slow miles a bit later on. It's very relaxing and enjoyable. But the day will come...
Don't jog or slow jog, if you think you'll end up with Zlatan's knees.
He is welcome to them. Considering the abuse they, ve had... They, ve done well. One careful owner??
It'll have to be another of your ebay "Cash on collection" deals
It's good for me, for now. And the lowest impact form of jogging is my mega slow Tai Chi Rinja-Rike version.
Pound for pound, swimmers are the strongest people on earth. I tend to sink though... or used to, I'm composed of far more fat than I used to be, so maybe I'll float. As all the best things do.
The essence of my argument about future car ownership, these solutions will only be for the moneyed, like the Porsche fuel for ics mentioned further down.
Agree, but how many sods would ever spent inflation adjusted 30k to 50k on ordinary car? Or 60k to 90k on a tesla? It was always porsche money, not by any measure normal. Car companies were trying to make it new normal pre-truss in low interest rate environment. With high electricity cost it isnt that or green anymore. Producing 2500kg electric hypercars was perhaps like HS2 good idea (for small demographic of early adopters) but flawed business model (who in right mind really want to pay several hundred quid to get to birmingham in a hurry?). But in happy (dated, but valid, we've all seen lipo prices tumble) Christmas message will I think change

It seems highly idiosyncratic for me. Read physio advice re slow jogging (maintain muscles to keep weight of joint, it fixed arthritis in shoulder before for me via push ups). But perhaps because of impact doesnt work this way with knees, should cycle really, but that isnt half as cathartic as a hard run.
Once again the confusion of vehicle with cars. As I've already been pointing out, I am posting about private car ownership and use.Electric cars ‘will be cheaper to produce than fossil fuel vehicles by 2027’

I used to sink but afraid no longer. But since my last ablation getting back into freediving. (consultant insisted a definite no no whilst in AF) Taking it steady tho.. No really deep attempts. (stay above 30ft).
Freediving sounds unwise, but it must be reassuring to know you'll float to the top if anything awful happens.
Certainly unwise whilst in AF but if you stick to your limits its a very safe sport. Been involved with both diving and freediving, potential for fatal accidents I think is way higher in ordinary diving. Embolism and nitrogen bubbles developing in blood (bends) are impossible in freediving
There are lots of alternative chemistries being actively explored .. many using low cost chemicals . Sodium and Sulphur, Aluminium metal . My point is that the concept of rechargeable can also be revised... Aluminium has a very high power density but the waste product is a gloop. It can be remanufactured, not recharged. The way I would see that operating would be exactly the same as Butane gas cylinders .. bring the canister or cartridge back to the garage and get the new one slotted in .. I see hydrogen canisters for air flight similarly... Aluminium bottles with a honeycomb insulating surface and filled with liquid hydrogen at extremely low temperature, then wheeled out to the aircraft at the runway, and then the flight happens . Then the empty bottle is remanufactured ..to be filled for the next flight .. remanufacture would mean resmelting . This is because hydrogen embrittment of metal is a problem .
