Not a very good week for me after what previously was a personal best week for me.
Never got out of the blocks really and I seem to have caused a bit of trouble with my knee.
6 weeks out from Amsterdam now so I am treading very carefully so as not to mess things up.
It seems to be what I researched as the symptoms of 'runners knee' which can be caused by a few fairly minor changes.
One that affected me I believe is my change of runners, to which for the last while I had been using a runner with less support.
Sharp shooting pain behind the knee is the after effect that I'm feeling.
A few days off were needed which still didn't correct it.
Hopefully with slower training this week, in my older runners (nike lunartrainer) I can hopefully correct the problem.
Below is my weeks training:
Monday: 5.05 miles @ 8:38 pace (recovery from previous days effort of 18 miles total)
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Off
Friday: 15 miles @ 7:51 pace (general)
Saturday: Off
Sunday: 4 miles @ 8:59 pace (recovery pace)
Total mileage: 24.05 miles.
