Another setback

Threshold Run – 20 minutes, followed by 15 minute jog
4.5 miles in 36:53

It’s more bad news I’m afraid. I’ve been having problems with my right knee since the long run that I did around central London two weekends ago. It coped well with 15 miles around Richmond, but it has been very painful this week and I had to pull out of this evening’s threshold run about two-thirds of the way through and jog home. I was on for a really good time too!

This is so frustrating!!

I’m hoping that with a day or two rest I will be ok for the Berkhamstead Half this Sunday. I may have to take it slightly slower than I thought. I might give hill training a miss on Saturday too – although it never seems to strain my knee as much as the speed work does.

Am beginning to feel as though the fates are against me. I have worked really hard in my training and don’t deserve this run of bad luck. I must stay positive. A few days rest and some careful stretching and I’ll cruise around Sunday’s 13.1 miles as though it were a stroll in the park!

I’ve been here before and I won’t be beaten.
