Summer training was going well; I was near a personal best
for my 5k time at the Serpentine end of the month race and got a personal best
at the Regent's Park 10k race in August.
Unfortunately injury subsequently struck a few days after the
10k race. After speaking with my physio I seem to have acquired IT band
syndrome on my right knee, which was incredibly frustrating as I felt great
about my running at the time. I don't think it is as bad as the calf
injury I got at the beginning of 2016; partly because I can still walk
without pain and also because I managed to recognise that I needed to step back
from running as soon as I started to feel the pain. This was something I didn't
do when I injured my calf.
