Event: DVOA Nolde
 

A little jogging to keep up with AJ on his White course today. He did well with one tough spot looking for an indistinct trail that had more or less completely disappeared. My knee was never 'painful', but it had a variety of abnormal responses to the run. A bit stiff and mildly sore on and off, not even as bad as the treadmill. A bit of burning, and an occasional sharp burn/tweak that faded as fast as it came on. Weird. Good news is that it's pretty much fine in the evening. (A little stiff again as I type this - now fine again after a 30 second DT break :) So hopefully the ramp up to running will work, on which a fast track would have me completing the Billygoat, perhaps with Angelica...

Knee decent today. No pain at all until evening sitting around mild annoyance. One set of DT/stretch/ice midday. Should do another one this evening.

Plan is to run 2 days on, 1 off (starting with 5 min/day, ramping up slowly). I'm going to keep doing the wall slide ecc. squats, 2x10, every 3 days, and try to keep up the 2x20 minute walks (less running time) ex. perhaps 0-1 of them on the rest day.

Test/trial of whether I can start running again with Val. Left knee got a little sore, but not too bad. Certainly not great, but perhaps if I do a bunch of these runs it'll get used to this and toughen up a bit, so I can run more w/o it degrading.

Cycling warmup for running test

Knee 100% on wake up for ~30 minutes, then just a touch sore - not really on stairs, just generally. Did DT, Stretch, Ice at 10am, and knee not quite 100% after that thawed. Still hoping that by evening it's pretty happy. We'll see.

C • Have you heard of this? 3

1 more DT, stretch, ice. I'm thinking my injury from last summer is mixing in with this, which in some ways is good as the Pat Tendon may be more healed than I was thinking, and it's this nearby thing causing the achiness.
