Despite feeling great after yesterday's 7 mile run, both physically and mentally, I awoke this morning to aching knees. I'm used to a bit of stiffness the day after a long run, but today it was even less comfortable than usual to walk down stairs. Walking and ascending steps was fine, it was just going down that my knees gave me more grumbles than usual... boo.
This evening saw me out for a slow 20-minute recovery jog, covering only 1.6 miles. It was fairly hard to force myself to run that slowly, but I found if I took 4 paces for every breath in and 4 paces for every breath out (instead of the normal 3 in 3 out for normal running and 2 in 2 out for faster runs), then I could keep my pace down to a very relaxing jog.
Tomorrow I hope my knees are feeling better, as I'm supposed to be back to doing 4 miles!
