Finally back in running shape!

Finally back in running shape!

Training

My training has been all over the place this year, I've had a lot of injuries all affecting my knee. After a long break I think I'm back! 

I've completed my 2nd run this week, so far so good. Todays run felt a lot better, according to my Runna schedule I needed to run 6k intervals. Felt I could have gone on to do 10k, which is a great feeling.

I was starting to get worried my running days we're over. I'm running York10k this weekend, I haven't done an event since November last year! far too long.

I'm training for my first half marathon in September I've missed loads over the year that I was meant to take part in. Really hoping I don't miss any more. 

I'm only running on my scheduled days and trying to stick within the limits of that schedule, that way to avoid doing to much and causing future injuries.

All being well my next post will be after I've completed the York10k.
