I saw the Doc this morning and she confirmed that I have damaged the collateral ligaments in my knee...and that I am not to do ANY exercise! Nightmare! I have been training since October and only have three and a half weeks until the run.
The Doc told me to follow the R.I.C.E. principle...Rest Ice Compression & Elevation. At first I was absolutely gutted when she told me to rest but then I pulled myself together, went straight to Boots to pick up some "Osteo Bi-flex" which contains Glucosamine - a key structural component which can help build joint tissue such as ligaments. I took myself off home and packed my knee with frozen peas!
I AM going to complete this run...even if I can't do anymore training beforehand! I'll keep you updated on my recovery progress.
