Right this week started with a 5km run a few gym sessions & a 10km run with no real improvement in the knee. I have had this week an x-ray, physio & acupuncture! My knee ligament pain is being caused from an inflamed Iliotibial band apparently, basically its an over training issue, but because it is a tendon it will take longer to heal?
So I have decided that the next week will be a treatment week not a training week and I will be taking some serious rest! I am going to nurse myself better & maybe go swimming to try & keep some aerobic fitness going.
I am certainly hope that my IT band will get better soon & I can slowly build up the running training & get back into my programme, at least now I have a correct diagnosis & will have more physio over the next few weeks to get me back out training again!
Only 3 months to the day virtually for the marathon & my sub 4 hour target time is slipping by the day.............
Fundraising is moving forward slowly but I still need your help to hit my target so visit http://www.justgiving.com/Ian-kelly to donate so we can produce a usable contribution to the charity
