Treadmill Woes

misskrysbaby

I have bum knees. I take Osteo, do loads of cardio, core work, take days off in between runs, most everything one needs to do when they have bad knees. Normally my runs are 6.5-7 miles, I run outside 95% of the time and never really have a problem with it. Besides a little soreness after, I pretty much have no knee pain after my outside runs. Saturday I decided to try 6 miles on the treadmill. It was looking a little gloomy outside and since I pay for a gym membership ($10 at Planet Fitness, woot!) I decided to use it. And I'm STILL paying for it. My knees are still sore and painful, just completely not a good feeling. Do any of you girls have these kinds of treadmill issues? I don't know what it is about treadmills but no matter if I run 3 miles or 7 miles, my knees are completely wrecked for days after.

I struggle on the treadmill, too, which sucks because I'm on it 2 out of the 3 days that I run. It completely changes the way that I run, no matter how conscious I try to be of maintaining proper form, and it just KILLS my shins and calves. I even have to wear different shoes because the new ones I got for running outside make it worse on the TM. Sorry I have no good advice, but at least you know it's not just you
