Andy Glaze has run 100,000 miles without knee pain. He explains that muscles adapt faster than tendons, so pain happens when muscles are ready but tendons aren't. Over time the body compensates, unless the joint is already bone-on-bone.
It is astounding to me how fascinating the human body is. It truly is that we can strengthen it by putting that kind of repetitive use on.
I think I have about 100,000 miles on my knees. And no knee pain. I have literally no knee pain. Like, your muscles adapt faster than your tendons. If you go out and do something where your muscles can handle it but your tendons can't, then you're gonna get a little pain. But over time, that works out unless you're like bone on bone already.
But nothing advanced like stem cells, exosomes.
The body only goes in one direction, right? So at some point, you're gonna have to like start taking invasive action. But as of now, the body is holding up. I'm doing what I can do, and I've been lucky where I haven't had anything really significant injury-wise where I need to go get like stem cells or anything like that.
