Gently does it...knee holding out!!

So time to test the knee again...decided to act on advice on here and do some intervals.... so warmed up 5, ran 5, walked 2, ran 8, walked 1.5 ran 5, cool down 5...so even though only 18 mins actual running figure is way better than nothing and I have many many years to get the running legs strengthened. All feels good so far, so fingers crossed 🤞 we’re on the up!! Have been feeling really tired and I’m sure it’s lack of running I miss it so much! Seriously gonna get mr p into this properly too as want to get outside in the cool air...running on treadmill next to radiator stuck on full is horrible!!!! Roll on weekend my cycle path is screaming at me!!!

Will go...slowly goes it snail 🐌 coming through!! 🤣🤣🤣

Been a bit frantic so have been a little quiet. Nice to see you getting back in the swing of things..., but maybe here is a little something to spur you on a bit, even if you don’t like the music... you could try running away from it....

Ah fab-u-Lous!! Just what I need...I am finding it hard to get any mojo going at the moment feel a bit of a fraud!! Will give it a whirl!! 😊😊😊

It’s tough isn’t it, and so easy for the couch to pull you back in. It takes a lot of grit to keep going. Fingers crossed you keep up the rehab momentum and the knee stays happy....

Yeah have gone back to wk5 run 3...20 mins was fine tonight ....hating the treadmill am determined to get some winter stuff and get out round the streets...it’s safe enough and I just hate the heat indoors...although the radiator stuck on full is a killer might as well be running in a booody sauna!!! 🤣🤣

Lovely!💦💦☂️☂️ That’s what it’s like for me too. Joyous leaving of elbow prints around the place... I even suggested today I should be Febrezed pre shower!
