I have repeated weeks, but this is my first "fail" to complete a run. My right knee started aching after r1, so I rested and thought I could run today, but I couldn't. That said, I walked (5+5+5) and ran (10+8, walk in between). Knee is hurting though. I think it is medial (? as it's the inside leg below the kneecap). I might rest two days and see what happens. Don't know if it's shoes or if I jiggled it running off-road or if my knee is saying "I will be 66 next week, give me a break!!!"

By W7 it shouldn't be your knees waking up and going "Hello?". This sounds a bit more serious. Give yourself a few days off. If it's painful when you're not running then find yourself a local sports physio. They'll get you sorted out... :-)

Not what you're looking for?
