Most people still think running “ruins your knees”…
but the research says the opposite. 👇
When you run with the right guidance, strength work, and load management, your joints actually adapt and become more resilient — not more damaged.
A 2023 review on healthy runners showed minimal and temporary effects on cartilage after running, with no long-term harm when training is structured and progressive.
Another study found no increased risk of knee osteoarthritis in recreational runners — and even suggested a protective effect.
This is exactly why we do physio-led warm-ups, technique cues, and strength-based prep with our Run Club.
You don’t just run more — you run smarter.
👟 Your joints aren’t the problem.
Your approach is.
And that’s the part we help you change.
