Ouch - sore knees
I went out for a quick run last night - 1st in 3 weeks. I thought I would manage a nice gentle 30 minute run but my knees were killing me within 20 seconds. I’m not sure why as they haven’t been sore at all over the last three weeks.
One possible thing is that as I started out last night I tried a different style - rather than heel-toe running I tried to land gazelle-like - I saw someone else running earlier in the day using that style and it looking very graceful and effortless. I can’t imagine it would make my knees sore so quickly.
Anyway, I just ran for 300 metres to the park and then did a few laps doing Fartlekk training - but I could only manage around 15 minutes. Pretty disappointing all round.
So I came home and did some leg strengthening exercises (such as crounching with my back straight against the wall and holding it for 30 seconds).
I’ll try again tonight and see if I get a better result.
