I've had a nagging knee pain for the last 6 weeks. Its fine if you keep your knee bent but hurts like hell when you straighten it. Finally after asking the running guru about it...was suggested I should switch running shoes and stop wearing the same pair 2 days in a row, I can finally say it doesn't hurt as much.
The last couple weeks running has been tough. Winter running and the snow is definitely dragging me down. However, I do feel better at the end of a 14k workout. This week has been tough. Monday was a 12k run. Tuesday with a 5k warmup, had 4 sets of 1300 meter. Times were 6:00, 5:45, 5:55, 5:36. Followed by cooldown. Fun but definitely a challenge. Wednesday, we were hit by another snow storm. 15cms dumped. A definite no run day. Thursday, made it to a treadmill and plodded out 12k. Did I tell you coach is a Brit? Well, some useless trivia, the treadmill was invented by a Brit, Sir William Cubitt. Used as a form of torture for prisoners.
Today, met up with the group and struggled through a supposedly easy 12k run. Breathed like an asthmatic through the whole workout. Tomorrow is a rest day, and Sunday, will be meeting with the group at the ungodly hour of pre-dawn for a long run. It'll be fun.
