    It’s not as bad if you walk ‘off trail’ in cities/suburbs. I’m convinced that a lot of the Runner’s Knees has to do with pounding cardio on hard-packed Earth, asphalt and concrete instead of forested/green areas.

      Yeah, I can even notice the difference when doing plyometrics on my wooden living room floor versus on the tiles in the garden (the lawn is very shitty and can’t take it).

        The lawn, I feel that pain. Field sports on a dry pitch is a little like doing it on stone once it dries out enough due to lack of rain, that shit can really hurt, even without getting tackled down onto it lol
