Front, under the kneecap, and occasionally on the side.

I suspect the occasional side knee pain is ITB as I have suffered from that in the past so have been stretching and foam rolling as much as I can.

The under kneecap pain is what's getting me down, it mostly okay day to day but descending stairs and squatting makes it hurt loads, and then if I run it starts hurting almost straight away, just an ache that over the miles builds up to be pretty painful.

Physio said there was nothing wrong with the joint of my knee, she suspects that it's a combination of weak muscles around the knee, and tight quads.

So I have strengthening exercises and stretches that are supposed to help but it's been a month with no improvement.

I haven't been for a single run since the Manchester Half Marathon. Knee pain that does not seem to be going away.

Physio gave me some exercises to do which I've been doing most evenings but I've not see any improvement yet.

Not sure what else to do, also concerned that if I ever do manage to shift it that it will return once I start running again.

Yeah, that was the first thing I did when the pain started, fairly certain my running style is okay - although I do overpronate so have trainers with additional support, but can't say I have noticed a difference.

I'm suffering with patella tendinitis at the moment too, really depressing as I can't run at all currently. Physio has given me various squat exercises and stretches etc I need to do, as well as supplements to take, but no improvement yet.

I haven't ran for 10 days now. Knees are still sore after the Half Marathon.

Went to see a physio a few days ago and got some acupuncture, a massage, and some stretches and exercises to do.

Frustrating.

Lol, dunno what's happened here.

Took 3 attempts to post that image first time round and now it's here again.

Thanks. Yeah pretty pleased with myself. I was aiming for under 2 hours so this was a good result for me.

Well done!

Yeah it was a wet one. I don't mind it so much during the race but immediately afterwards I was so so cold.

Smashed my PB today in the MCR Half Marathon, my knees are ruined now though.

Yeah Kearsley, but I do most of my running before or after work which is Trafford Park / Salford Quays #flat

Recently did a 15 mile run that incorporated Jutland Street but they had us run down it! Seemed like such a waste.

I imagine because it's completely flat - I'm gonna be fucked the first time I encounter a hill haha.

In a moment of madness, I have signed up for Manchester Marathon 2019

I just tried to buy this on Amazon only to be informed I already have it in my Kindle library.

which just goes to show I have bought too many books and need to get around to reading them!

Thanks, will do.

Followed the Nike+ app Half Marathon Training Plan for this run and it did me well - also collecting some new shoes today with better support (hopefully), which should alleviate some of the issues I've been having.

Aside from a little pain I'm really enjoying running so hope I can keep it up

Manchester Half Marathon in 3 weeks, but I'm not sure if I'll make it. My knee is killing me after today so might need to slow down a bit and recover, we'll see.

Congrats!

I was threatened with biblical rain but it turns out sunny thankfully.

Thanks!

Also, pretty happy with this...

Longest ever run.

Feeling pretty proud, if a little* sore.

*A lot.

Struggling with a little bit of discomfort in my right knee, but I have the big 15 mile run this weekend.

After that I'm gonna try and reduce the amount I'm running for a week or two and recover.
