Week 9 run 3 😩

Well, set out for my week 9 final run this afternoon, but unfortunately couldn’t finish it as I started having pain behind my right knee. I stopped running after 10 minutes and decided not to finish the run as I don’t want to jeopardise my chances of finishing the run. 😩 I’m resting it at the moment for a few days but feel absolutely gutted I couldn’t finish my run today. I think it’s my body telling me to take it easy for a bit so will try later in the week πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

That is such a shame being your final run of the programme - I bet you were so prepared to finish! You absolutely did the right thing though. Nothing worse than pushing through and doing more damage (that's what I stupidly did soon after graduation and ended up on the IC for six miserable weeks). That graduation run will still be there waiting for you as soon as your knee is feeling better. Rest up for a few days, maybe ice it too and hopefully you'll be ready to complete the programme in style soon. :)

Don’t be too downhearted, you’ve run for 30 minutes twice on W9 R1 and R2, so you know your more than capable and you’ve done great to get this far, so rest up and when you’re niggley knee is behaving itself, go out there and finish the programme in style with your best run yet πŸ‘
