This is right on Jeff. "But I have an intuition that many people who are deep into “biohacking” are looking for a shortcut to greater health and strength, when, more often than not, the greater benefit would be to just go harder in the gym. Run another mile. Play another game. Slap another plate on that barbell. Intensity is the ultimate biohack." My knees have been sore for a while now from all the cycling that I do, and over the last 6 months I've been backing more and more to favor them and try to distance myself from the pain. I saw a physiotherapist yesterday who took those knees in his hands, performed some manipulations that hurt like hell, and gave me the homework of running up and down an infamous stack of 450 stairs that descend to the beach near my house.

Sorry to hear about the knee pain, and good luck with the running. Have you ever tried stuff from kneesovertoesguy? Stretches and exercises he teaches helped relieve me of some knee tendinitis I used to have. Worth checking out if you haven't already.
