Help, Training for FLM, have knee problem.

[Gerry H]

Thanks Heidi,

I am unable to find an exact spot that is tender to touch, at this stage the whole of the back of my knee feels tight with a dull ache, but to prod it around doesnt find any tender areas, i can push quite deep in and find nothing.

My trainers are fine they were new for christmas and the usual make and model so nothing has changed there.

I am going to continue with the icing and stretching as suggested and perhaps do a bit of coss training but i am itching to get back out there. Whilst i still have this dull ache do you think it would put me back to try running again? or definately wait until i can feel nothing? Another two weeks of not running would mean i would really have to build miles up slowly and i feel i dont have that much time left!

Apologies but im not good trying to be patient!!

I agree abstain from the high impact running for now, conditioning can be maintained through good planning and rigorous non-impact activity.
