good move not doing the park run if your knee was bugging.
ive had bottom knee hurt from running a few times .. but also had it during jumping.
when i get that, it's usually i'm doing way too much work. same for my lateral knee tendinitis-ish feeling which comes occasionally.
cool hah. i never tried to convince you of high frequency long runs tho
how often is this long run? usually they are once a week, with shorter runs throughout the week (speed work, tempo, medium-long, recovery).
i would definitely not try to add distance/pace so frequent, if i'm reading it correctly. have to be careful.
be careful trying to add intensity so often. my advice is still, learn to go by feel. some days you can run longer, some days you can't. if you keep it relative, you'll probably stay fresher.
nice @ ~62min run today!
yea maybe. aerobic fitness is underrated. in fact people hate on it similar to calf raises.

I'm gna focus on getting my long run to 15km/90min, I wasn't a believer at first but i've come around to the idea that you build an aerobic base first then focus on speed / 5km time PR etc. Just gna work on that now. Did 62:30 min today, at 9km/hr, will add 2:30min each time and increase the speed every other time by 0.1km/hr. Eventually wanna be doing 90 min run at 10km/hr for a total of 15km. After that i'll switch up focus for doing 400m repeats on the track and just getting fast af and getting that sub 20 PR.

If i think about it, the most glaring weakness in my preparation for basketball was a lack of aerobic fitness. The years of lifting weghts prob did good things for my anaerobic but without an ability to express it gametime i was never able to demonstrate my athletic gains. I might have a 36" vertical but my subpar aerobic fitness meant i cud never get a game time dunk etc.
