Went for my scheduled run today. Warm up was fine but as soon as I increased pace to my normal slow jog ouch! A twinge behind my left knee cap. I tried to run on for a bit but as I increased pace again it twinged. I didn't carry on running but did a brisk 4k walk instead with no more twinges.
Any advice? I have not had this before. No swelling but just a little tenderness behind my knee cap. I have iced it and taken some ibuprofen.
If it persists then professional advice is far more useful than anything that most of us can offer.
New runners niggles I suspect which should disappear as you get stronger
However, that's not to ignore it. You are right to ice it. Rest up a day extra if needs be and see your doc if you are unable to "run it off"
Thanks misswobble sage advice as usual. Will take it easy on my greek island runs x
Oh you lucky sausage! 😊 What i'd give for a run by the sea. Maybe one day ☺
Knee pain - looking for advice
Knee injury - on to the IC
Running on the road is hard on the knees?!
