running
I've been off the jogging for a week now, unfortunately it just started to totally screw both of my knee joints, so I'm waiting for them to recover.It's pretty annoying to find out you can't do something that basic, so I think I'm going to train up until I can.
I think probably the incline is what was damaging my joints, so it's probably safe to run on the flat. Also, I'd like to strengthen the muscles I use for hill work. As such, I'm planning to do the following:
Now: 3 times a week do one of these, alternating which one:
Jogging - Jog 3 miles on the flat round Holyrood Park. (timed)
Climbing - Climb to the top of Arthur's Seat and back down again. (timed)
I might also consider joining the gym to do cross-trainer and exercise bike stuff in the new year
