Ice knee after running?
I'm training for my third half marathon that is coming up in a little over a week. In my training program i'm up to 8 miles last week.
I noticed that i have some discomfort in one or sometimes both of my knees after the long runs. It doesn't bother me on my 2-3 mile ones, just the long.
Is icing after the run the correct thing for the soreness and/or sometimes pain?
I'll be running 9 miles tomorrow so i'd like to put any advice to work after.
thanks for your input.

For me Icing is mandatory. I have many ppics of my legs up covered with ice packs after a long run.

any thing over 4 miles and I have to ice. I will even sit in a cool tub with ice. I bought several ice packs that I keep in the freezer. And I use biofreeze, A LOT. :-) Happy running!!!!

Yes! Running is rough on the body so ice is perfect after a long run. I have lots of ice packs and contraptions to strap them all over my legs and hips :-p
Great job with the training!
