Besides a bike or elipitcal machine, practically every other way to get cardio in carries more risk of knee or ankle injury than just running. Pickup basketball or tennis come to mind as good ways to stay in shape, but you’re also a lot more likely to hurt your knees doing that compared to going for a jog


Some people just want an excuse to not do anything. It's a way of life for many.

I hurt my knee (left) playing baseball when I was younger. When I got to college, I could do the 4.5 mile daily pitcher’s run through the woods on a trail, actually rarely got any issues in the knee. When I would sprint is when the issues would pop up… I have rocks floating around in my knee that would get caught in the bending joints and cause my whole knee to lock up and collapse. It was pretty painful.

Oddly enough I can still do distance running with no issues at 42 (well, being 42 is an issue but I digress) and bike for long distances but damn if it still doesn’t lock up in a sprint. I once took a PT out on a date and I had her feel my knee for a barstool diagnosis… she looked at it for five seconds and said “yep, total knee replacement.” I injured it when I was 12 but have moved around good enough with it through the years. I see no negative effects on it after I go for a long run or jog.
