Report 11 - Week beginning 22/03/10

Have you stuck to the training programme? If not any reasons why?

3 runs this week.

Have you done more or less than expected? Explain.

Not as much as I hoped for due to my knee.

How did you feel during training this week? What were the highs and lows?

No real highs and a real low on Thursday when I had to stop running as my knee was sore. It is the first time I have actually had to stop running.

Are you seeing improvements; in speed, distance, breathing?

Another pretty static week in all areas.

Where are you walking/running; gym, beach, roads, forests?

On Tuesday I ran 3.5 miles in Halkirk at a reasonable pace for me with my knee only giving me a little discomfort so I felt quite encouraged. On Thursday I managed just over 3 miles in Thurso before I quit as the pain was starting to get to me and I did not want to do more damage. On Sunday morning I ran with Sandra in Broubster forest and we did just over 3 miles at a gentler pace and although I had a little discomfort in my knee it got no worse from start to finish.

Are you training alone/with someone else/mixture? How does this affect your training?

Twice my own and once with Sandra.

Any injuries?

Right knee!!

Are you feeling any benefits away from training as a result of the training; health, toning up, more energetic?

-

Are you doing any other forms of exercise; swimming, cycling, yoga, pilates?

No other exercise.

Any other observations?

I will run on Tuesday this week and if my knee plays up then I will have a week of the running. With May getting ever closer I am concerned that this injury won't clear up so fingers crossed.
