Ouch !! Week 7 run 1

[Croughtonrunner]

I’ve done something to my knee !! I want to cry !!! Almost at the end of my 25 minute run I felt pain in my left kneecap ... hobbled on but now in agony ... I’ve iced and am now doing deep heat ... thoughts as to resting for how long ? I am at physio tomorrow for anshoulder injury so will ask her ... I want to weep as the running has been really good

Allots of ice and heat in succession and seems to be fine his morning !

Don't look at it that way. I had a bad knee injury and that meant months off the track. And that was when l started, since then l've completed a half marathon.

See what your physio's got to say first and follow the advise. Could be good or could be bad but don't despair, all is fixable and given you won't be doing the World Cup, the recovery time is immaterial.

Have you done gait analysis? Your shoes and insoles fitted in properly by qualified guys in good shops?

Take it easy and you'll be fine!

All the best!
