After a few weeks off resting, going on holiday and a mild illness, I’m back on the trails.

I was feeling good back in May. I was planning my first trail marathon, had a good Pentyrch Hill Race and was looking forward to some sunny runs. Then some knee pain developed out of the blue and an ongoing niggle with my hip flared up.

Whenever I get more than a minor niggle, I don’t hesitate in taking a break. I didn’t expect it to be so long though.

So I’m back to shorter runs and waiting to see how I feel.
