So my left knee is acting weird. It all started last Monday on the treadmill. Felt a little twinge or weakness while I was doing speedwork. Then Tuesday on my trail run after about 3 miles, my left knee just felt weak and tight and wrong. I walked the remainder of the way back to the car and thought, hm, this is strange. So I decided to take a few days off and hope that with some rest we would be back where we were.
Nope.
Saturday morning, felt some of the same weirdness pretty early but thought it might just need to warm up. It sort of went away every once in a while but basically after about 4 miles it was clear that I needed to stop running. I was mystified. I hadn't had any injury and had been running pretty much comfortably for 9 months with absolutely no knee issues whatsoever. Then the coach of my running group mentioned my new shoes. 2 weeks old. Only one long run in them and the very next run was the one with problems.
This might just be the issue. I had no idea something like this could come on so quickly.
