I run on an indoor track between weight sets. So , I do bench presses then run 1/5 of a mile. Then move to next weight set. Ran 1 to 1.5 miles daily 5 days a week for two weeks then developed bilateral runners knees. I enjoy running but am.going to have to rethink things. I think I was not using proper form (heel to toe) and pounding the ground in an oafish way. Bought real running shoes and will try again next week or two. If injury recurrs it is back to the speed rope, eliptical, and swimming. I might try spinning.
Good luck. Draughts and pizzas going your way.
