Ok, it has finally happened. After years chronic knee pain and trying everything from different shoes to different strides to different socks, you name it and I have tried it. Last year I had a meniscus surgery that seem to have helped for a while but the knee pain is back and back with a vengeance. So at 62 years old I have come to except the fact that I can no longer run if I want to get rid of the pain and a knee replacement is inevitable.
After a lifetime of running excepting I can't run anymore has been very very difficult to except, but as I have said I've come to except it.
So here is my question. Is there a form or technique of, for lack of a better word "speed walking", or"race walking" that I could do once my knee is healed able to train again?
I am in ultra guy. In October I completed a triple Iron Man in Mexico which was a ton of fun. As you know doing an ultra or anything longer than a marathon mostly likely will involve walking to some degree.
Finding some type of fast walking or racewalking technique would mean the world to me. I would be able to maintain that part of the life that Has brought me so much joy and has been a part of me for as long as I can remember.
