After completing w5r3 over a week ago and mentally feeling greater I have suffered with a very sore knee (runners knee?) since so have had the week off running until this morning. I must be addicted as I was desperate to run for the last week which must be a positive sign but set off in trepidation. I went considerably slower than I have been before but managed the run easily. Breathing and recovery so much better. Ok I needed a knee support and voltarol after! but feel like I can build and push on again now. Lesson learnt, very slow and steady with the hope speed will come back.
