So I've finished week 8 today but have had to allow 5 days in-between runs due to left knee pain. No discernable injury and no swelling but takes a few days to settle. Am icing & doing exercises to strengthen legs and glutes as recommended by a physio who thinks i have an inflamed inner fat pad underneath patella. Hoping this will settle for good. So frustrating. Ouch!

I’ve had knee pain too-mine was related to my IT band but I can totally relate to the frustration of not being able to run as you want to. Wishing you the Christmas present of fast healing! You’ve done exactly the right thing by seeing a physio and following their advice. Hope it settles soon! 🤞
