Since Kullamannen beginning of November I have had a hard time heading out on a longer run.
First weekend I felt that I was on my way to catch a cold and decided to not head up to Frostavallen, the second weekend it was raining so I ran a shorter run on the treadmill. Last weekend I was in London with my consulting company and ran a 5K morning run on Friday.
Now it was time to head out on a longer run and decided to run my city trail run. Was not sure if I would run the short version or the long version.
It was snowing yesterday but I felt it wouldn’t stay and it was raining during the night.
Cold, grey and drizzle when I started. My knee felt good.
This summer when I got to the long uphill road in the neighborhood my legs refused to run up that road but today I made it all the way 🙂 Felt so good. Not breathless either.
Before the first hill part I ran close to the fields and it was gooey, something told me I might expect the same when I got to Klosterängens höjder (Klosterängens hills) and oh boy, say the goo and also realized that it was slippery so I had to walk up and down some hills there but then I could run on the dirt road down and up.
So I decided that I wouldn’t run up the second hill part, instead make a detour to get around 17K.
At 13K I started to feel pain in my right knee but this time it was not at the back, it was at the side so I decided to walk shortly.
During the last part of the route I got issues in my right thigh and groin and was forced to walk some more but I was satisfied with the route.
- Ran up all the way on the road in the neighborhood for the first time
- Ran 13K before I ran into issues with my right knee, wonder if the gooey slippery part made me walk ”funny” which caused the issue
For the last couple of weeks I feel that I am getting there, running pain free. Hope that more gym, Yoga and massage every other week will do the trick.
