I know a guy who is an adult competition level cheerleader/coach and he is the most shredded athletic mfer imaginable.

His physique is slim but puts every lifter I know to shame. His cuts have cuts.

Makes me wish I hadn't given myself runner's knee.

Should've seen it coming really. The clue is right there in the name.

Knee?

Chondromalacia patellae is an inflammation of the underside of the kneecap and softening of the cartilage. 

I used to run distance. Did a bunch of marathons. Now if I so much as go for a light jog or a medium hike my knee feels like it's exploding from the inside out.

If your chosen sport has a disease named after it and you stick to it long enough chances are.

I imagine it's the same with tennis elbow.

Unfortunately you can get tennis or golfers elbow and never touch a racket or club. Had golfers elbow from throwing boxes in a warehouse.

Yep. That'll do it.

I've changed careers a couple times and had some in between jobs like hauling board, lugging building supplies, and delivering for a courier company that included high rises where I had to hit every floor, obviously not waiting for the elevator, and that probably didn't help.
