Occasional rain.
After last night's 7ºC and constant cold hands I wore gloves tonight (10ºC).
Felt better.
Legs still a bit tired and felt the knee all the way. Not exactly painful though.

In the end did 1km aiming for sub 3:25 (first half downhill). Did that one in 3:19 and not going all out.

At last I managed to do a quality session!
Decided to give it a go at a Fartlek. Kept it short (the fast part was 5.4km) and, apart from the last effort of 600m all the others were under 250m.
I felt good and the knee didn't hurt. Some discomfort later but nothing to worry about

Ran with a bandage around the lower part of the knee and it wasn't bad. Just a bit tender.
More like on the 16th.
What a beautiful run. The Moon shining above, the city asleep, happiness

Progressively faster and then, around 4.6km I met an old "running acquaintance" and we ran together. The pace dropped and the knee started to complain.
I ran with him for just over 1km and then accelerated again but the discomfort persisted.
40secs from home I felt a sharp pain in the knee...
Limped slightly all day after that.
I'm a bit worried...

Test. Easy first 600m and then progressively faster to see how the knee reacted.
A lot of discomfort for the first 2km and still feeling it until the end.
Afterwards? No complaints!
Let's see how it will be tomorrow. I hope to be able to resume normal training in the next couple of days

I didn't take it too easy and ran well on the hills and in the last third of the session.
Yesterday's session was very present in my legs but I think I recovered decently.

I was really happy with that
