What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?
My knee has continued to feel better, and I went for my first run in over a month. Just a short, 6 minute run (~1.8 kilometers). It felt amazing to get back out there and I could have run for longer if I wasn't trying to take it easy. I felt some mild knee pain right after, but it went away by the evening.
Then I had physio yesterday, and he thinks what I have is runners knee. He gave me some stretches to do daily/after runs and said to keep running but take it easy and stop if I feel any pain. This is the best outcome I was hoping for and I'm in a much better mood than I have been for a while. I'm going to go for another short run tomorrow morning and continue to keep them short and spaced out by a few days for a while.
Also, with winter coming I've been trying to figure out what I will need. It gets fairly cold and snowy where I live, but I should have a few months before it gets really cold. The running subreddit has a pretty good sticky thread about winter running tips. Anyone on here have any good tips or advice?
