I tore the meniscus in my right knee during a sprint tri almost 9 months ago, and after seeing a sports doctor, getting an MRI then seeing a surgeon, I was told he wasn’t going to talk me into surgery with the type of tear I have, as it was starting to feel a little better (that was about 3-4 months post injury). It has continued to improve and I only really feel it when I bend my leg completely or twist it awkwardly.
I have been biking pain free (it’s always been pain free biking) and I’m thinking about starting to run again to see how it goes. I would like to give myself the best chance of keeping the improvement continuing, and I am thinking that having a shoe with more cushioning may help. I was training and racing in the Hoka Tracer during and prior the injury, and I’m wondering if perhaps a more cushioned Hoka model may be the way to go. If so, any thoughts on the particular model? And recommendations as to other shoes I should look at?
