Subject: IM Goal to Half IM I have a right knee "challenge" that has made my running hard nearly impossible, but running long possible. On the dreadmill this morning while going for my marathon training plan of 12 miles (set back week ) my knee really gave me problems. Some of you may have seen my "dreadmill" post earlier!! This is the first time I had to cut a run short (I only got to 7 miles and had to quit! ). I really bummed out about this.
Now I must reconsider my full marathon goal, which was to establish my full IM goal. I wonder if you have faced this? The swim, nothing to me! (former US Navy Diver ), the bike, nothing to me, but the run has been my hold out. Now with a knee dragging me down, I believe I must recalibrate my goals from the full IM to the Half IM. I have completed Oly tri's and half marathons up to this point with.
What's a triathete to do?
