Training week (Mar 27th - Apr 2nd)

This was my first really disappointing week of training with the appearance of a knee complaint affecting my training.

Saturday 27th March - Rest Day

Sunday 28th March - 13km Run
I went out planning to do my last long run before London but opted to cut it short. I felt some pain on the outside of my left knee, it wasn't a sharp pain, just seemed like i could feel the bones rubbing when I brought my leg up. I could probably have gone on for longer but I thought it wasn't something I should risk, especially since I could make good use of the time to finish off some work I had to do.
13km 4:43min/km 1:01:28

Monday 29th - Wednesday 31st March - Rest Days
The three consecutive rest days were the result of two things, one was a need to rest the knee the second was that my last piece of work of the semester was taking longer to complete than expected and I had to get it done asap. I got it done a day late, but it did get done.

Thursday 1st April -  1,000m Swim
Finally got round to doing some training, I didn't feel ready to test the knee again so went for a gentle swim. Had no problems swimming, felt ok, a little lethargic, but I put that down to a lack of sleep in the few days before.
1,000m 30:00

Friday 2nd April - 10.6km Run
If I look at the overall pace of the run it was ok, but I slowed down after about 5k's to protect the knee, again it wasn't very painful, an annoyance more than anything.
10.6km 4:28min/km 47:06
