Today I ran on a treadmill at the field house that was able to be set to a slightly downhill position. I ran downhilll for 3 miles, doing 9 x 1 minute intervals at speed 7.0 with the rest of the run at 6.0. After the downhill portion, I ran 1 mile at 6.0 with no incline (it felt relatively uphill). My knee seems to be improving despite the fact that I can't get rid of the slight swelling. Followed up with 50 crunches, 50 each side leg lifts, 50 each forward leg lifts, 3 x 30 sec planks, and 10 push-ups. |
