1 PM

Nordic Walking 1:00:04 [2] 4.06 mi (14:48 / mi) +26m 14:31 / mi
slept:8.0 shoes: Inov-8 Roadclaw

1 hour Nordic Walking along the canal at Stone. It was claggier and muddier than usual hence why I wore the Roadclaws. Still, aimed for a brisk pace.
6 PM

60 Minutes Steady Run 58:10 [2] 5.15 mi (11:17 / mi) +62m 10:53 / mi
slept:8.0 shoes: Saucony Triumph

60 minutes Steady Run with club members.

The Garmin shows 58 minutes but add on a couple of minutes for a warm up and it equals 1 hour.

One downside is that my left knee started to ache a bit during this run - there hasn't been any problems with it up until now. What might have caused it is that due to time constraints and things to do, I've run on the hard stuff a.k.a. roads over the last few sessions and I think this is a warning. No problems at Mad Jack's 5 which was off-road or generally when I run on trails/off-road. But I did Saturday's long run on multi-terrain which included quite a bit of road then Monday night which was all on the road.

What I'll do is ensure my next run is all off-road and then see how it goes at the weekend when I do my back to back runs - which will be off-road.

What a bugger as I've been injury-free up to now so hoping this is just a niggle. I suspect it is my knees saying they prefer softer surfaces! I'll keep any road running to an absolute minimum - say no more than 1 session a week with my club but will make sure the rest are all off-road.

The ache could also be menopause-related. Damn!!
