Well, that didn’t go as planned.
But it did go very similarly to the last run, at least to start.
I walked to the lake at a brisk pace and felt fine. I started a counter-clockwise run and waited to see if the right knee would start to ache, like the last run six days ago. It did. I waited to see if that ache would diminish to discomfort. It did. I then checked my pace at the 2 km mark–6:08/km–and called the run.
It’s possible if I had kept going, the knee would have felt better still, again like the previous run, but today felt different. It felt worse. And I didn’t want to risk making the knee worse, so I grudgingly stopped the run after only 2 km.
There’s not much else to say. I started with a deliberately slower pace, but I don’t think it made any difference. My knee was going to do what is was going to do no matter how slow or fast I ran. Alas.
More physio and we’ll see what’s next. I am holding off on further runs for the time being.
It was nice for running, at least!
