New PB 9 Miles but at a cost

Posted by Martyn

So I managed 9 miles today but it came at a huge cost as I have pulled a muscle in my left knee. Those who have been reading will know that during the last two runs my left foot has been playing up, well that still hurts but I can run on it and the pain goes after a while. Anyway during my 6th lap (which was hard) 1/2 mile towards the end I felt a twinge in my left knee but when running you get so many I dismissed it. Really really should have stopped as I could feel it because also my running was getting slower and slower until all of a sudden I speed up towards the end. As the end was in sight I felt this crazy pain in my leg which made me stop running as soon as the pain arrived…..it did not feel good. I stood there sweating like mad all numb but not out of breath and then I walked a little with a slight pain every time my leg hit the ground, but when I got to the stairs I could hardly walk down them.
After sitting on a step for about 15 minutes upset because I know this could cause a problem with training, I decided to get to work before I was late. After showering Ali took me to the nurse to get a ice pack. There is no pain while sat down but it does hurt to walk.

Send me happy thoughts please and have a great weekend. I know I will :)
