20M - long run at 5.55min/M
I think this tells me my knee is well and truly fine. I did four laps around Blenheim at close to this year's marathon race pace. It's undulating and not the fasted route. So I was pretty pleased with my pace as well as the knee's behaviour. I could feel a little tightness at stages but never any pain. And it's probably just me being a bit stressed that pain might emerge that makes me notice anything.
I started at 6 min miles thinking I'd see how long I could sustain it without pain... but given the hefty undulations around the loop thought I'd slow later in the run. But I felt great the whole way. As usual, I really hit my stride around 8-10 miles. My calves and hamstrings were a little tight towards the end, but nothing much really. Testament to a v light couple of weeks. And my improved basic speed.
