I feel motivated! ...but as you said this time of year isn't fun.
I had stomach problems on weekend so I skipped the long run.
This morning I went for an easy 10k (5.40/k, AHR 160). On the last km's the knee started feeling bit dull and weak again. Then after the run the IT band is pain free. I've been strengthening my hips and glutes as well as doing dynamic stretches to help it get better. I have also put some ice on it twice a day.
I think it's the slippery surfaces causing extra stress to the tendons. Do you think I could get away with keeping my volumes down like running every other day or should I take some time completely of running?
