Hi Ed,
Update:
I have been working hard on streching and the quad excercises you sugested. It has improved the knee. Last night I did an easy 30mins and it felt perfect. Definately caused by my tight hamstrings and quads.
Previous 4, 5x2000m times:
8/1, 29/1, 15/2, 5/3, (very windy)
1. 8min 02 1. 8min 15 1. 7min 51 1. 7min 51
2. 8min 11 2. 8min 19 2. 8min 05 2. 8min 03
3. 8min 29 3. 8min 40 3. 8min 19 3. 8min 16
4. 8min 47 4. 8min 56 4. 8min 28 4. 8min 22
5. 8min 56 5. 8min 51 5. 8min 18 5. 8min 09
The numbers speak for themselves thanks Ed.
My regular recovery run which is 5k I have reduced my average pulse to 115 over the run compared to 130 back in Jan and 2 mins faster (at av115).
Tomorrows session is the 6x1000m
I am aiming at 3.50 to 3.55 sounds ok?
