Kept it pretty simple today with a nice three mile run. Ran with Megs patella strap to see if that would help at all and it didn't seem to do a thing for the knee. I had run with the strap last year sometime and remembered that is would always slip down my leg slightly and give no support to the patella. Well that was pretty much the case today. I wanted to give it a test under race speed conditions so I picked up the pace on mile 2 to 7:50/mile and mile 3 to 7:30/mile. It was no good so I will probably abandon the use of this strap anyway for the race on Saturday. Overall the knee is feeling a bit better and is not as tight as it has been. I'm just afraid if I try to log too many miles it will tighten up again. Good thing it's taper time and I could afford the couple extra days off. A couple more easy runs over the next two days and I should be ready to go on Saturday.
Time: 7:59/mile |
