Hi Ed,
Thanks for the advice, what you are suggesting sounds like good sense. At present I am a bit like a clockwork toy. Wind me up, point me in some direction and off I go. The point that I am trying to make is this: I don't really know what I am doing. The proof of this is in the injuries I have been getting. So again thank you for the good advice. I will follow it as best I can.
My knee feels better again today. Well back to status quo when the initial injury is considered. It was a stiff yesterday evening so I walked a little. Today it is behaving quite a bit better.
I am really interested in your approach to rest. I am lazy naturally by nature :yes:, its one of the few gifts that God granted me. So taking the days off that you suggest should be just about manageable.:whistle: I get the impression though that I have a real problem with stamina
...is that the same thing as lack of fitness?).
Yesterday towards the latter end of the session my legs had lost their zip and it became a slog. I was not breathing any harder though. I was surprised also by the fact that the 90 seconds recovery seemed OK.
I will rest when directed and I will reduce the long run by 20% also. I would like to run in January. I am not worried if I do not get a good time. I would like to break 40 mins for 10K at some stage next year. It would be great though if I could get back to running strongly without niggles and injury.
Best regards I appreciate the help
