If you’re running out on the East shoulder of a road, you should return on the East side so you’re body does not always have to run on the same angle of taper. Obviously this only applies to roads and paths that have a crown.
Huh, I never thought of that before
So if you're running on a crowned road, is there a correlation between which knee begins to hurt and which side of the road you run on? Say you run on the right side of the road so your right foot is always slightly "downhill" from your left, which knee would be the one to hurt you?
I've heard that the pavement surface (concrete versus asphalt) can make a big difference in how your joints feel after a run since concrete is harder than asphalt.
