5k Silsoe Stride

[plop]

Well I got around, knee was really starting to hurt at about 3K, tried to walk but it was worse than running so carried on to the end. Have to get it checked out to see what I have done, looks like won't be running for a while Really gutted I was just getting in to it.

Aww shame your knee is playing up.. very frustrating.. please rest and make sure there is no pain before running again..as I pushed and ended up with a stress fracture on mine.. took 6_210 weeks to heal properly.. ease off now and hopefully all will be well..

Sorry for horror story wishing you quick recovery..

Ah plop I'm so gutted for you- do your RICE, hope it gets better quickly

Sorry to hear that @plop. Patience is the key unfortunately. Why not take this time on the IC to do some strength exercises or researching running form?

Hope you get better soon.

Well done on finishing the race-hope you recover soon.

Managed to walk up and down the garden this evening, couldn't walk to the kitchen at lunch time, so it seems to be easing a bit. I think I probably over did it the last couple of weeks as I went straight though week 8 to week 9 with no 2 day break. Did an extra 20 minuter when my knee went first time, on the aborted final run, then week 9 final run on Friday and a 5k today. That's a lot of running that my body is still coming to terms with.
