Thank you Pete! I will work on the strength exercises. Zone 1 running, extremely easy jogging in my case, feels stable with a little pain under my kneecap afterwards, but no instability. Would you say the soreness is normal or would you recommend backing off running all together until I’m back to 100%. Obviously there are several factors that weigh into this, just curious based on your experience what you’d recommend in comparison to other cases you’ve seen.
Thanks again,
Max

Hi Stuart,
Sorry for the delay in response. Thanks for your response. The original injury was 8 years ago. 75 percent tear of the ACL, but surgeon said that I could postpone surgery with physical therapy. At the time I was a competitive freeskier and was referred to a top notch physio center that gave me the rehab routine. Obviously years have past and I was slacking on the training up until the last couple years when I’ve gotten back into alpine climbing. It’s been almost 2 weeks since I tweaked it this time. Pain has subsided after cutting my 24 week plan way back. I’ve just been doing my stabilization and knee strength exercises, no running just hiking. Knee seems stable and getting stronger. Still have a week before I leave. Planning to climb conservatively and avoid any high stepping on my right side.
Thanks again,
Max
