Injured my right knee (patellar tendonitis) in a race when I forgot to wear my patella straps. Got a PR for the 10k but what a stupid, unforced error. Been recovering for two weeks. This morning I did a light 5k and everything seems to be working.
The emotions and frustrations these last two weeks were intense and unexpected.
Going to work on knee stability exercises. Slowly.
Restarting my marathon training plan to week zero.
Felt so good to be back out this morning. I need this.
Hello! Welcome to the running community! Loads of great running people on here!
Start slow and steady. Don’t expect to be able to smash it straight away. Pace and distance come with time.
Try the NHS Couch to 5K program. I’ve not done it myself, but I know a lot of people who have.
For something a bit different, there’s Zombies Run! which is an audiobook/gamification type thing which is a lot of fun, if you like that sort of thing.
Shoes are really important, but you don’t need to go dropping hundreds of pounds on them straight away.
Most importantly, listen to your body and don’t overdo it!
I feel good about this morning's half marathon.
I kept my pace pretty even throughout - although I tended to slow down a bit when I would take a gel and some water.
Was able to drop five minutes and establish a new PR.
I had enough still in the tank to really push the last mile... and also felt pretty good afterwards.
The training is paying off! I need to stick with the plan.
Long term goal: 1st marathon in October.

I felt good #running this morning. Generally had negative splits. Most of this run was on a track as I wanted to save my knees and shins for tomorrow's long run.
Half marathon is next week. 2:20 is my time to beat. That should be doable if I can keep my pace steady and don't blaze out early. Steady. Stick with the plan.
Today's last kilometer, at 5:31, has been my fastest kilometer so far this year... and it felt pretty good. :-)
I rolled up my #running stats for the first three months of the year.
Glad to see a slow increase in my cadence (SPM). I have been trying to improve that.
Total kilometers of running is certainly increasing.
I have been following the Hal Higdon Marathon intermediate plan. So far, so good. I have been doing a better job this year in actually taking rest days when I am suppose to.
Half marathon coming up in about two weeks. Current HM PB is 2:21 (6:36 KM pace). I hope to do better than that.
