Running

Emotional morning. 

Since the marathon, I really haven’t been able to run. I developed some knee strain in the final 10K or so and it hasn’t fully subsided. 

I tried a 5K a couple weeks ago and was on a limp for two days. 

I went out today with a knee brace and couldn’t even get thru a mile. 

I have every negative thought rushing thru my head rn. 

You’re too old. Too heavy for this sport. Everyone tells you you’re built for lifting not running. 

Running is meditation for me. I just want to get back to it but I know I have to listen to my body. 

Will be focusing on strength and recovery for a while. 

I will get back to the road. Eventually.

there are things you can do to help with knee pain. make sure to strengthen your Tibialis. this can dramatically help with knee pain when running. weak glutes can also increase knee pain
