In this episode, Alison discusses the trend of walking backward on a treadmill at an incline to strengthen knees and reduce pain. While she acknowledges that this exercise may offer short-term benefits, such as improving foot mechanics and providing a novel stimulus to the quads, she emphasizes that it should be part of a broader strength training routine for lasting results. Alison critiques the pervasive idea of quick-fix exercises, arguing that consistent, progressive strength training with exercises like squats and lunges is more effective for long-term knee health and overall performance. She highlights the importance of building a strong foundation through regular strength training, tailored to each runner's needs, to avoid injury and achieve sustainable progress.
