Well, one knee, actually. I’m currently taking an enforced break in my running again, this time with a niggly pain in my right knee. The damage was definitely done in my fast Saturday run, and it still isn’t healed. I tried a few miles yesterday, …
Read MoreEasy does it
According to my schedule, this week is an easy week for me. According to what I’ve read, these are key to have every four or so weeks, to give your body a bit of a break. My schedule, however, must have a sense of humour, as by …

After my run today, I learned a valuable lesson: know when to push it and when not to push it. I had a good week, following the schedule and having a stong, fast six miles on Wednesday and a short three the next day, both …
