I've been a lazy runner in the last six weeks. It all started with pain behind the knee. I'd get to the end of a run (and these were decent sized runs - say 6 to 8 miles) and it'd be sore. The soreness would continue and move to pain if I tried to bend my leg. During actual running there was no problem. But I decided to play it safe and cut out the running until the pain went away. (That was what Google suggested anyway...)
That lasted three weeks, and I've struggled to get back into a routine. I ran two miles on the treadmill in India a month ago. Two weeks ago I did 5K or so with Guy, followed the next day by some pretty serious sprinting (result: very sore legs for three or four days).
Today I bought new running shoes: Saucony, rather than Asics. They're stability shoes, and a bit more cushioned than my previous ones. My knee feels fine post the run, which is good. On the other hand, my tendons are a little tight.
Tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll drag myself outside and do a 5 or 6km loop.
