I am in week 11 of my half marathon training and its all about my shoes, my knees and the foam roller.
Since I am running 9 plus miles on the long runs on Sunday, my knees are killing me. The pain made it so I had to stop running and start walking. I have done a lot of reading on runners world and diagnosed myself as having a case of runners knee.
So I am resting this week, no running until Saturday and doing stretches and quad strengthening exercises. I doubt I will make it until Saturday without running. I should be running 3 miles today and I am already feeling itchy not doing that!
I read that your shoes can be part of the knee problem, so I bought a new pair of running shoes and they are awesome. Brooks Glycerin series 9. I got an excellent fit this time, a full shoe size larger than a fashion shoe I would wear and my toes were very happy at the end of the run, my knees not so much.
Hopefully after a few days of rest, they will both be back in sync.
Now, I have several pairs of running shoes that are too small to run in. Luckily my office is collecting shoes to donate to a very worthy charity.
Here is the box we will be filling up. Perfect timing. 12 days to the half marathon in Staten Island.
