10K, workout #14
A very early long run, as I have a conference and other appointments the rest of the day and evening.
The workout
An 12K long run in heart rate zone 2, pace around 5:00/8:00.
Afterwards I miscalculated and ended up running 14K. No problem, but I had to shower and eat (and drink coffee) very fast to catch the train.

What is a problem, though, is that my left knee still aches. I don't know what it is, as I didn't change anything, except doing more faster workouts and adding some miles. No a lot though, because the first and second week of the program were not much bigger in terms of miles than what I'd run before starting. So, it might be the fast workouts, or the one-legged rope jumping. For now, I stopped doing the latter and I'll see where it brings me. The problem isn't as severe that I can't run, and running doesn't hurt, but the nagging feeling does worry me.
(Note to self: it might also be related to the weight lifting and strength training, but I don't think this is the case.)
