Have some pain at my left kneecap which came after tempo-run last friday. After the 5 k-race last weekend, I ran 3 days easy and took a day off, then that tempo-run. The only reason I can imagine despite I am old (-: is that I ran parts of the race and the tempo-run downhill. Knee hurts only when I bend the knee, but it hurted every step of the long run yesterday. Don´t think it will be a big thing, but I will have to respect it this week.

Think this is what I am affected by: http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,1571.0.html

I don´t really know what I did wrong. It seems like everytime I am going beyond 50 miles/week and trying to implement tempo (carefully), my body reacts with inflammation: last year Achilles tendon, this time kneecap. I believe that I don´t have a good balance between mileage/speed. Last year I barely ran 1.250 miles for the year. Maybe it´s a bit too much to run >50 miles per week this year.

Right now, I am thinking about limiting miles to 45 miles/week and 160/month to stay injury free.

If there are any ideas/suggestions, I would appreciate!
