  OK, I just need to find an unused piece of flat, smooth road, where I can run backwards without embarrassment. By the way, the Kneesovertoesguy (Ben Patrick) swears by backwards sled pulling in the gym as a prehab for bad knees.

  Walking backwards on your treadmill is a good option as less worrying about falling, and I incorporate into intervals so run forward fast ,jog backwards on the recovery

  When I was a powerlifter and got knee pain, I did backwards sled drags and those worked like a miracle.

  I have so bad knee arthritis, that I have not been able to run for several years. Pain in the knees every day.<br> &nbsp; To train cardio and leg strength endurance, I walk dragging a homemade sled behind me. The last year or so I have been doing as much backwards walking with my sled as forwards walking, and it has helped reduce the knee pain a lot.<br> &nbsp; I live in a quiet residential area with very little car traffic, so I can get away with dragging my sled (some 3-4 m behind me) on the road outside my house - the neighbors have gotten used to seeing me, but they did stare a bit in the beginning, and I still get quite a few questions about what I am doing 🙈😂👍.<br> &nbsp; Train hard, stay safe!<br>Best regards from Denmark 🇩🇰👍.

  I started doing backwards running drills about a year ago. The biggest obstacle was just the embarrassment of doing it in public parks and trails in Chicago. That, and avoiding tripping backwards. But my knees are much happier as long as it&apos;s done in moderation. I don&apos;t recommend doing this as a warmup drill, as I find it much more jarring than doing it after a few regular warmup miles.

  From my own personal experience(and not wanting to fall on my bum out backward running), I&apos;ve found going up stairs backwards has very similar results. I don&apos;t even make it a regime, I just try and remember to do it every time I have to go up the stairs.

  Exceptional! I used to do uphill weighted walks on my treadmill for knee health, and I have forgotten about it. I will put that back ASAP. Will also start adding running segments also. Thank you!

  We used to incorporate backward running into soccer practice conditioning back in the 1990s. Have not thought about it since. Time to add it into my running.
