Question about size

[skaman607]

well I'm doing WSB, and practice is every day

 

[jeremys]

how much longer does the season last? over the course of 3/4 year or whatever, i'm sure your body could get used to a little more weight

 

[skaman607]

well Indoor ends mid feb., and outdoor starts Mar 1 and ends late May, I'm not worried about speed, just pounding on my knees

 

[jeremys]

i'm sure your knees would get gradually accustomed to the weight. i'm not really qualified to answer this though

 

[skaman607]

well bad joints are hereditary in my family, so I was just worried

i was 112 and bulked up to about 160. What I noticed was my body adapted...my calves got ALOT bigger just from gaining weight, I never worked them. I feel like my knees got stronger too. I'm faster now than when i was 112, I don't run track though. I'm not attributing the speed to the weight gain...just showing you that it doesn't HAVE to interfere

so youre saying that I won't hurt my knees by being bigger?

Reread what Haz said.

well I don't know how heavy he is/was, and runners world only counts you as heavy, if your weight to height ratio is high, so maybe being tall will help me
