Easy 5k, cut to 4k with slight knee twinges
Posted on Aug 16, 2011 under Easy Runs | No CommentWas an easy run, planned for 5k, ended up putting in some strides half way through, then slowed to a sedate pace. Just before 4k started getting twinges in my left knee area, knew it wasn’t worth holding on for the sake of another km so eased to a stop at 4k and decided my legs might need a bit of rest from running after the hard work of late – which I don’t want to throw away before my races!
Am off on a bit of a walking trip for a few days at the coast, so hopefully that will keep my legs fresh without any hard impact work – and if I can get in a couple of easy runs before the first race, am hoping the twinge was a mere niggle and will be ok in about 10 days!
Before that, time for a bit of RICE!
