Knee Ups and Downs

The past few weeks have been rocky. The small amount of knee pain I had a few weeks ago got worse and worse. I did the 6 mile run on week 4 with Olga and it felt great. The following weekend I ended up getting new shoes and resting instead of doing the 6 mile run. Week 6 I did a 5 mile long run instead of the 7 because the knee was still bothering me. Today I did an 8 mile long run and felt great!


I'm not really going to go through each of these dates one by one, because I did keep to the training plan overall. Besides the long run adjustments above, I did stick to all of the mid week runs, along with doing Crossfit ~3 times a week.
