Knee felt fine during run – no pain and felt pretty good afterwards too. Longest tempo run complete, the seven miles felt comfortable if a little slower than I might have hoped. Was a bit breezy down on the Severn today though so that didn’t help.

Breezy today, but managed a good pace. Knee felt ok, no pain or major twinges during the run – slight ache on the bike ride home but nothing major. Definitely getting better, I just need to make sure I don’t overdo things.

I decided to skip my schedules easy run yesterday, which I think was definitely the right decision. My knee felt fine most of this run, slight nagging towards the end but no pain and much better than it felt at the end of my last run, or at the 16 mile point of my run last week.
I’m pretty pleased with the run itself, the 10K in the middle is designed to simulate the end of the HM and I felt pretty good – heart rate a little higher than I would hope for the pace, but it was quite windy. Not a great course, quite twisty and potentially quite short. I apparently ran a 42:32 10K, a PB (!), but my Garmin measured only 5.77 miles. The Garmin went a little screwy on some points of the course, but I still think it was probably short.
Hopefully with a rest day tomorrow my knee will be fine for the next week, my last “big” week before the HM taper…

Knee still niggling a little bit, not major pain but definitely not right. Planned rest day tomorrow, and will see how it is at the weekend. Have to remember my HM in three weeks, and not overdo things now and spoil that! Fingers crossed…
