re: Let's Run There...Jeremy Renner

There’s a .00000000001% chance that he’s ever actually met anyone who runs 12 miles a day but people have these false narratives in their brains and then they use it as crutches for their own shortcomings.

Correct.

Runners are more prone to stress fractures of the anterior tibia. Not knee injuries. But stress fractures are from a wide range of causes, not just mileage from running.

Do you have proof of this? I'd be curious to read it?

My father in law is a retired orthopedic surgeon that specialized in knee replacements, he is a graduate of duke medical school and did his residency at the same place that Dr. Andrews did. He can tell you the story of how Dr. Andrews was fired and left to start his own business, I don't remember it all. Doesn't matter now.

He will absolutely tell you that any endurance training over years and years and years will without a doubt wear your body out. He can tell you endless stories of runners with knee issues.

I'm not saying he is 100% right but he was one of the best in the business for 15-20 years.
