NO NO NO! The picture below is wrong!!!!! - Look at the forward knee protruding further than the toes. Always keep the knees behind the toes when squatting, lunging or any type of bending else you'll have knees like mine!

This I've got to see

huh ?? maybe that should be 13km/h

13 km = 8.07782 miles based on a .621mph per 1km/h

I visited the Physio today about my achey knee. I was manipulated and contorted in all manner of scary ways, before the physio announced:-

"you have excellent ligaments"
"errr, thanks?" says I.
The whole session was hilarious - I couldnt help but laugh and crack jokes at the embarassing things she was making me do!

Apparently the bone, ligament and muscle structure is very good, but oddly the knee that I suffer pain in is my strongest leg; this had the poor girl baffled. Anyway, she checked my feet and proudly announced that I overpronate, which is likely to be the cause of iffy knee.
I should try trainers with anti-pronation blocks for running, and get some longitudinal arch supports for my day to day footwear.

I'll get some, wear them for a while to see if knee improves and then give running another go. If not, its time to buy a bike!

Fingers crossed!!

It's not uncommon to overpronate. Did you get your first pair of running shoes fitted properly? If so, they should have seen that you overpronate. Check whether the ones you are running in are support shoes or not. Overpronators generally need what they term "support" or "motion control" shoes. It's what I used to run in.

How's the running going Huddy?

I bought myself some Nike Lunarglide+ 2's the other week and did a track session in them last Friday. They felt good, so I decided to do something really silly and run a 20 miler in them on Sunday. Normally I'd brake them in for a few weeks first, but they felt so comfortable and I'm really sick of getting blisters so I thought I'd give them a go. They were great!! I'm so pleased I've actually found a pair of trainers which fit properly and don't give me blisters. Hurrah!!

Sports massage on Friday and then hopefully another 20 miles on Saturday if my legs feel up to it. Then it's taper time. Leicester Marathon in 3 and a bit weeks. Argh!!

I didnt, no Kate. I just did the wet paper test and went for a neutral trainer. I've not run in months now :/

Admiral Huddy · 17-09-2010, 16:33

Your story is remarkable Kate.. Keep up the good work.

I got up 20 minutes 2 twice a week then something felt a bit uncomfortable so I've had to rest up.. again..

Here's a question. What do you keep water in while running? We had little bottles but after 5km it turned into hot water which was horrible.

>10 miles - Camelbak bottle belt
> 15 miles - Camelbak bladder in a little rucksack

I've got a metal drinks bottle, one of the hiking/climbing type which is sort of universal purpose for me

I'm undecided on my new trainers. They are on the 30 day guarantee from Sweatshop which is up tomorrow. I ran some distance on Saturday morning and they were pushing my toes over to the front-outside of the shoe and I had sore toes afterwards. However, today I did a few K at lunchtime and was fine. When I walk in them they land perfectly, unlike the old ones that had a wiggle where the support wasn't correct but they aren't as instantly comfortable like the old ones were. I can't decide if it was the socks I was wearing or if they just need breaking in, or a bit of both.

I'm no expert on running shoes but I've had 0 issues with my Muzios (sp?).

Oh and today I ran 16km, my furthest distance \o/ 1h48.

Oh and thanks Kate, I'll take a look at those

Probably don't need the > 10 mile one just yet. Gimme a few more months
