This is for the average person that has been running or someone starting to run and enjoying it. One focus is positively attempting the challenging goal of running a marathon. The base goal is to achieve fitness or wellness with minimal pain or injury thus continuing to participate. The central premise- Anybody with generally healthy limbs and body can go from couch to finish line of the 26.2 mile marathon in 24-36 weeks.

Knee hs given up- Time to start from scratch.

As the left knee- the worst one- has given up I have started from scratch as a runner/walker and feel good so far.
My plan has 3 parts:
1) Walk daily for 30-60 minutes and measure comfort-pain level
2) treat pain with RICE and take proper food and herbals for inflamation
3) Do the rehab exercises and continue to see the strength and stability increase.
4) Do more trail waking to get the lateral stresses and strengthening that will improve the knee for future runs.

Watch food and stick to lower caloric density foods and get full that way with occasional fruit or juice fasts to clean out the waste prodcuts of my workouts.

May need to get to racing weight BEFORE I can train for racing- instead of reaching it while training....
