Just a quick note to say that the knee that I hurt on Thursday's 7Km is not getting better as fast as I expected. It's no trouble if I stay still, but walking is very painful.
I'm icing and gelling and wearing a compression tube. But I am not going to risk the Parkrun tomorrow.
Have a great weekend runners!❤
Oh no old! Sorry to hear this - get well soon 😣
Sorry oldfellow. 😔 Hope it gets better soon. ❤️❤️
Take care and don't rush your return. I've been out for 3 weeks with an ankle injury. Done a gentle 2k today to see if l can ease myself back in. Injury is so annoying, l wish you all the best with your recovery .
Agh!! Oh no so sorry to hear the knee is giving you bother. Sensible to bow this Parkrun out, and hopefully with lots of rest you’ll be back soon. x
I’m so sorry to hear about your knee theoldfellow, but you are doing the right thing to rest up until it feels better. Those parkruns will still be there when you are back to full fitness again and you don’t want to make things worse. 😥
Heal well, my friend... the runs will still be there
xx
Oh no, I’m feeling for you. Get well soonest!
Bit of a pattern developing here though? Is the fantastic support and encouragement on here pushing some of us on faster than our bodies can keep up with? Just asking ....... 🙄 after a couple of dodgy weeks myself.
Maybe so, but I don't need much encouragement. It would probably have been OK to do the distance, but I need to learn how to descend properly.
Going down is worse than going up. It really does take practice to get it right. I'm finding benefits in smaller steps but much higher cadence. Sometimes I just slow it right down, depends on the kind of hill. It would be so much easier to just roll down! 🤣🤣
I remember some niggles in my knees when I first started increasing my running distance. I found knee exercises on NHS nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/k... that I did for awhile once they felt better and it seemed to help. First follow the RICE principle though - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate until it feels better. If it doesn't feel better soon, best to get it checked out.
Good advice. Thanks.
Sorry to hear that, hope it resolves real quick for you.
Take it easy, there will be plenty of parkruns when its back to rights 👍💪😁
No point pushing it if it's crook. The park will be there next week. It is frustrating though...
Oh no theoldfellow sorry to hear this?! You’ll just have to keep up with posts on here so you can at least stay entertained!! 😝
Knee is a lot better today. Still not ready to run on it, but I can tell it will be OK next week. I missed the Parkrun, but as Dexy says, it'll still be there next week.
Looking forward to reading everyone's posts....
Yes, the runs will wait for you
Good news, I shall look out for your post Parkrun write up! 🙂
Sorry to hear this oldfellow. Hope it improves very soon. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏃♂️🏃♂️❤️
So frustrating but definitely worth giving it a rest, knee problems are such a nightmare! Hope it improves very soon.
Good call and I really hope it eases soon.... take care 😎
Really sorry to hear this. How frustrating! Hope it heals quickly x
