We could talk if days weren't so fast, and mistakes just leave it so unsure.*
I had a good run yesterday. I ran 1.5 miles but I did it in a sneaky way to trick the knee. (Why yes, you CAN run in a sneaky manner...and knees sometimes need to be tricked!).
Anyways, I walked a quarter mile, ran a mile, walked a quarter mile, ran half a mile, and walked another quarter mile. My knee felt fantastic!
I've decided to take this like I'm a complete beginner and I've never run before. I'm trying to find a beginner 5k training plan and see if I can do something like that to strengthen my knee. Most of those plans use a walk/run combination to build up the miles, and maybe my knee will respond better to that than to a straight increase in my miles. Hopefully.
Hope everyone has a lovely hump day!
