As expected I had some hardcore DOMs going on after Race the Train. Club run the Tuesday after was pretty tough; I had to will myself to stick with the group. The Thursday run was much better; my legs felt fresher and I enjoyed the run.
I cut my LSR short on Sunday as my legs were feeling a little niggly where I had shin splints.
Back to club on Tuesday (just gone) and
I was fine; we completed some hill repeats (hill being a bit generous here!). On the way back to base I started getting a pain beneath / towards the outside of my right knee. It was quite painful, and I just thought it was from the efforts I'd put in on the inclines.
Unfortunately each morning since Tuesday I've woken up and had quite a searing pain when descending stairs in the knee, and a pretty uncomfortable feeling in the same area when ascending. This eases during the day, but I'm still aware of it. My knee now also clicks whenever I bend it....
Due to this I've had to pull out of the 5km team race I'm meant to be taking part in tomorrow, which sucks. I feel like I've let the team down badly, but I don't want to aggravate anything.
I'm crossing my fingers it's nothing major and I'll be ok for the 8.5km trail race I've got two weeks tomorrow. However, right now I feel like I'm just an injury prone running wannabe made of glass, which isn't a nice feeling :(
