severity grade: 3
Banged the left knee before control 1. Acording to race doctor, a bruising only, but it the discomfort doesn't disappear in 1 to 2 days, then back to the Doc!
So rest and cream helped to get the swelling down - bit of ice as well of course. Also took a few anti swelling tabs. It is still sore - but I can run almost normally now.
Additionally decided to go with some new shoes as well to try and stay one step ahead of any runners knee problems in winter, as I push my mileage up.
