A member asked:
Please advise if it's okay to train for a half marathon with a sprained ligament in the knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can still train for a half-marathon even when injured. You should train with the mind set that you can not push yourself too hard or you may worsen/prolong any injury. Slow and steady will win the race when you train while injured. A sports medicine doctor is a wealth of knowledge for training with injuries.
