I have been doing HIIT, kettles and parkrun & off road running up to 6km for a year or so. I have a history of dodgy knees/hips/back, but have worked hard on my core, lunges squats etc.
I recently upped my mileage (mainly off road) toward 12km for an upcoming race and am now unable to run with knee pain in the front below my knee cap.
When walking I am fine unless I am going down a steep-ish hill on rocky ground.
I have 5 weeks until my race, I don't care about timings, I just want to jog/run it and complete it in one piece
I'm going to go for gait analysis at a local running shop and see if my trail shoes need replacing. I have taped my knee (thank you You Tube).
Is there any other advice out there?
I am gutted and frustrated!
Thanks in advance
