Excellent Article!

If I could write like this I would be well chuffed

The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.

I have not really seen a great deal of research showing that supplements like glucosamine sulphate help joint recovery. I have not included it mainly because it is not my area of expertise, but I am slightly cynical about it. There are a over 150 joints in the body. There is lets say 1000mg of glucosamine in a pill. That means that each joint in the body might get at most 6-7 mg of glucosamine, although probably not anywhere near that amount because of the body not absorbing all the pill. I fail to see how such a small amount can have any effect whatsoever on a joint such as the knee, on which even 5-6 mg would be like a grain of sand on a beach. But that’s just my opinion! I am generally in favour of supplements in general, such as multivitamin and mineral supplements, since as runners we do use up a lot of these important substances, and may not get enough in our food to replace what we lose. Especially during training.

Dear Patricia,
so sorry it has taken a full 10 days to reply to your comment. Thank you for your feedback, I’m glad you like the site. It’s true that it is very difficult to know how long rehabilitation will take, it is different of course for each individual. I will try to make the years subscription a bit more obvious.

Have heard some people ‘raving’ about supplements containing glucosamine as being very effective in joint recovery. I haven’t encountered reference to these on your site – do you have a view on glucosamine and supplements in general ?

Looked into website from newsletter info … I think it is really well presented and links logically through the diagnosis and treatment steps. The pricing you propose seems reasonable (I’m currently on my 3 day trial), but interestingly I only noticed the approx £20 price not the approx £30 price which offers better value, and also it can be difficult to predict injury and recovery times…

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve tried to place a link in the text where i can, but there are some that i have probably missed out. I’ll do a good scan of this when i can and hopefully clear that up. cheers

Generally pretty easy to follow the links. The only minor problem I had was to find where the video you mention in a text was located below. Maybe that is me – maybe others will also find it slightly awkward.
