Hi to All-
I have a 22 month old and I recently developed pain in the backs of my knees. I have been running with the Bob SUV stroller since our little one was 10 weeks old; however, I began doing some hill work a few months ago and I've had this persistent pain in the popliteal area of BOTH knees for about three months. I've rested, done nothing but cycling, done nothing but swimming, I've done muscle imbalance/counterbalance exercises - all of which have helped none.
The pain is minor, but if affects the length of time that I can run and also my stride length. During runs (normal runs, without the stroller) of 90+ minutes, my hamstrings and calves begin to tighten so badly that I'm reduced to walking- toward the 90 minute mark it feels like my foot is swinging out and around my hip to reach the ground.
The PT told me that my psoas muscles were to blame and the Chiro said that my back muscles were pulling my hamstrings incongruently so that my patellas were not tracking properly.
I desperately am trying to salvage my season b/c this is my first summer to race in several years.
Any of you ladies had experience with an injury that was likely caused by using your running stroller?
