I ran last night as well but ran out of time to post about it. Last night was 8 miles in 61:20 @ 1% incline on the treadmill. My knee was hurting through the final bit of it so I definitely wasn’t going top speed.
Tonight’s run I took it easy as well – I was worried about hurting my knee further. It didn’t really end up being an issue but I could feel it starting to ache for a while during the run. Tonight was 6 miles in 45:03 @ 1% incline on the treadmill.
I have to figure out the knee issue – it doesn’t seem to bug me even on longer runs outside but it comes up almost every treadmill run. So there could be a couple reasons – the outdoor runs I do slower so it could be the faster speeds that the knee doesn’t like (maybe my form is off when I run faster) or it is something to do with how I run on the treadmill.
I’m going to have to double check to make sure the treadmill is still level side to side and that I’m not constantly running on an angle. I also need to make sure that my form is staying proper on the treadmill. The issue becomes more prevalent when I get a bit tired so it could be that my form is getting sloppy and the treadmill isn’t really forgiving to that kind of thing…
I will keep working on it!
