Yet again I braved the elements yesterday evening and took myself out for a shortish run (8.5km). This is the third time I have travelled this route and have improved my time by over 2 1/2 minutes. I'm hoping this proves that my level of fitness is increasing, as is my confidence in my knees. I am, however, still being incredibly cautious and will remain so throughout this running experience.
Details of yesterday's run can be found by using the following link:-

As you may recall: my iPod Shuffle died a couple of weeks ago (on the same run as my right knee) so I replaced it with a new one.
I've jumped a couple of generations in going from an iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation to an iPod Shuffle 4th Generation. Even though I've jumped 2 generations I find this new one to be a bit of a step back.
Firstly you need to have the fingers of a pixie not to press the stop / start button whenever you're trying to change the volume or track. This results in much frustration when you think you've moved onto the next track, can't hear it, turn the volume up a few notches, then finally realise the music has actually stopped. Of course when you start the music again it's more often than not at a deafening volume setting.
The tiny size of the device is also a problem when attempting to clip it to your clothes. You have to pinch the clip to open it, but as there's so little clip to play with you often end up launching the iPod across the room. I can't see someone elderly, with the DTs, or both, getting on with one of these.
Lastly (so far) is the feature that tells you what track you're listening to. All you have to do is locate and press a tiny button, and a robot sounding woman tells you the name of the artist and the track title to which you're listening. The problem here is again one of proportion: even though the music volume is lowered when you press the button, the voice of the robot woman is just not loud enough to hear the artist and track title. This is an even worse problem when there's background traffic noise which effectively renders the feature useless.
Enough warbling on about iPods... It's been four weeks since I started my training for this Half Marathon and the 'running total' of funds raised has now exceeded £500 which was my original target. Thank you so much for your support.
I have been a bit cheeky and increased the target to £750 in the hope of attracting a few more £££s before the big day.
Next run is tomorrow evening, slightly later than normal (sometime around 19:30). I'm thinking 10.5km is a nice distance for a freezing cold Wednesday night.
Until then... Nanoo Nanoo

More running (but very slowly)
Yesterday morning I took to the lanes of rural Kent in an attempt to push myself a little harder and break the 14km mark. I'm glad to report that I was successful in achieving this goal, but I found it very tough going. The first 9 km were fine, but fatigue and knee soreness started to creep in and I found myself moving barely faster than walking pace. To be honest, if a bus had come past (and I had some money with me) I would have been a sorely tempted to catch a ride.
Of course if you were watching me live on the Internet you may have noticed that I'd suddenly developed an inspired capability to run at 30mph through Hildenborough and down Tonbridge High Street. As I won't have the benefit of buses on the day of the half marathon I decided to tough it out and managed to get back home in a miserable 1 hour 23 mins. Shocking!
If you want to share in my agony, details of the run can be found at the link below:-
http://runkeeper.com/user/grahamtutt/activity/68498456
A while back I promised that I would publish the training guide to which I am loosely adhering.
I am now on week five and am slightly behind schedule due to completely missing week 3 through injury.
I'm not really going for speed, so I've not bothered too much with the whole fast / slow thing, especially because I am taking things very carefully in order to protect my knees. I am, however, trying to build up the distance, so I'll be over-running on a couple of occasions this week (tonight and Wednesday) but will stick with the 45 minute run on Friday so as to rest my legs for a 16km run on Sunday. This leaves me 5km away from a half marathon.
I plan to use the penultimate Sunday to run 10km of the half marathon course including the horrible hill that's at around the 8 mile point. If all goes well that's about as much preparation as I can do. All in all I will have run 27 times in order to prepare - doesn't sound that much really!
Anyway: I'll sign off now. Should you wish to follow my run this evening, I'll be out and about sometime around 18:00.

Half a half marathon
This evening I took to the streets of Tonbridge again to continue my quest to complete the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon with two dodgy knees and a significant amount of Christmas pudding still left around my waist!
Tonbridge was as Tonbridge is on a Friday evening: busy. The first couple of kilometers were spent avoiding people, waiting for traffic lights to change, and trying to see the pavement where Tonbridge and Malling Borough council have deemed effective maintenance of street lamps a low priority. They also seem to have some bizarre policy of turning the street lamps on and off at random intervals. One moment you're running on a reasonably well lit pavement and the next you're plunged into darkness.
I'd also like to mention the state of the pavements! It seems that the majority of them have been dug up multiple times by many different utility companies only for the tarmac to be filled in by an elite squad of three year old children with buckets and spades. I know things are tight at the moment, but please TMBC sort it out!
So, how did the run go? In summary: it was quite enjoyable. I kept the pace slow and careful as my right knee is still an issue, but I made it round in a few seconds over an hour which puts me on two hour pace for the half marathon.
To put things into perspective: I used to run 10km in 44 minutes and run half marathons in an hour and 40 minutes. I'm losing loads of time on the downhill sections of my runs for fear of damaging my knees further, and I'm a lot less fit than I was two years ago. However: the aim this year is to finish and raise much needed money for The PSP Association; on the subject of which my fund raising went from £0 to £415 today. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, and those who have it in their plans to do so.
I had a mixed response to the live broadcast this evening: some thought it was great and were able to follow me without a problem, for others the technology did not work so well. I have two theories about how to improve this: firstly I'm going to turn off WIFI on my phone so it stops trying to hook up to wireless networks, and just relies on phone signals; secondly I would urge you to use the link on Facebook to view my running activities. If you're not a friend on Facebook, just send me a request.
If you did happen to follow me on line, please let me know how it worked for you. You can leave a comment on this blog or send me an email.
Finally: if you did miss my run you can always take a look at the route and the statistics by using the following link:-

My thanks again for your support. Let me know if you would like me to talk about any specific topics in this blog as I'm more than happy to do so.

Another successful run with poorly knee
After the triumph of Monday I set out this evening for another run around the streets of Tonbridge. Tonight I stepped up the distance a little to just under 8.5 km. To put that into perspective: the half marathon is 21 km so I at least need to have run 18 or 19 km in a training session to be confident of finishing. However, given the apparent seriousness of the injury to my knee I am still being incredibly cautious.
Uphill running is still way more comfortable than downhill running and I'm being very careful to land each step with a bent knee and (where possible) on the heel of my foot.
Tonight saw the first of my live broadcasts. For those of you who noticed my post on Facebook just before 6 PM you would have been able to follow me on a map with details such as my current pace and elevation. I believe you can even comment!
If you do not subscribe to Facebook, no problems. I will start to post the approximate times of my training sessions, so if you are interested you can visit the web page below and watch as events unfold:-
http://runkeeper.com/user/grahamtutt/activity/
This should automatically take you to my latest running activity. If you can't see my live training session it's probably because I'm a couple of minutes late, so just hit "refresh" in your browser after you've grabbed a cuppa and you should be able to see me run! I'd appreciate some feedback as to whether this actually works as I can't watch myself on the Internet whilst running for obvious reasons.
For information: my next training session will take place just before 6 PM on Friday.
I must say hello to Not Famous Tony whom I bumped into on my run this evening and stopped for a very brief chat. I suspect this is not the last time I will meet Not Famous Tony on his way back from The New Drum of an evening.
Also: hello to the slight mad and quite large bloke sat outside Whetherspoons who congratulated me on getting off my arse and running. I had to chuckle at the irony.
Finally: please please please would someone open the sponsorship on my Justgiving page! Remember: I'm running this half marathon to raise money for the PSP Association. I suspect many other people would have bowed out at this stage given the injury to my right knee, not to mention the problems with my left (MRI scans will be in a future post!).
I attach below a picture of my knees so you can see that even after 10 days the right one (on the left of the photo) is still somewhat of a mess, although miraculously doing me proud.

I couldn't have wished for more.
With trepidation I stepped out of my house this evening with my right knee heavily strapped-up and my hopes somewhat less than high.
The first part of my run is always down hill which ever way I go, and I immediately felt pain from the injury I aggravated last Sunday. However, with a semi-limp and a very slow start I actually managed to find a bit of a rhythm. I found that with small steps and care on impact I was slowly warming up and really starting to enjoy the run, although I kept thinking over and over again: "protect the knee".
I got careless on a couple of curbs and slightly over enthusiastic occasionally, but on the whole the run went well.
I found that downhill running is not good for my knee, but uphill running was positively pleasant. In fact, if you look at the pace vs elevation profile on the GPS data from my run you'll see that as I got warmed up I was faster on the uphill stretches than I was on the downhill. In part this was deliberate, so I could get a good work out with less chance of knee damage, but comfort really played a big part of it.

I'll sign off now. My next run is not until Wednesday evening. Fingers crossed my knees are OK tomorrow morning!

Things are looking up
After 5 days of intensive care on my knee I'm almost ready to re-commence training.
Monday will be my first foray back into running but will be a slightly more pedestrian affair that I'm calling: jalking.
Jalking is a combination of jogging and walking, with walking taking place mainly on the downhill stretches of the 6 km route around which I will navigate. Apparently walking down stairs applies 7 times more stress to the knees than normal walking, whereas walking up stairs applies only twice a much stress as normal walking. It's an amazing fact that I tried to verify on Wikipedia the other day but it was not working as they want to make all piracy legal (or something along those lines).
Anyway: you cast rest assured that I'll be back in the thick of it on Monday with five weeks of training left. I'm cutting this a bit fine!
My thanks go to the chap in the running shop in Southborough for the excellent knee support, without which I would definitely not be in a position to be running anywhere. I feel that this invaluable piece of kit will be my half marathon saviour.
http://www.runninghub.co.uk/
That's enough from me for today. I had some negative feedback about posting a picture of my swollen knee on line. However, this will not put me off: I will post another picture next week so you can see the healing powers of absolutely everything I've been trying to reduce the swelling and the pain.

It's ever so slightly better!
No news on the running front today as my knee is still very unhappy, although ever so slightly better.
I spoke to the chap at the local running store yesterday and will be popping in there tomorrow to see what advice he has and to see if I can secure some sort of knee support.
I have taken to using a crutch today to keep as much weight off the knee as possible. I'm also applying a strong ibuprofen gel to the knee to try to bring down the swelling. However, I suspect it's going to take a couple more days before I can run slowly on it, and with a lot of care.
I have included a photo below (crudely taken on my phone) to help illustrate the extent of the swelling.
As you can see: my left knee (the one on the right of the photo) looks pretty normal, whereas my right knee has ballooned to about twice its normal size.
Any hints and tips to sort it out please let me know. I have tried ice packs, ibuprofen, sandalwood.
I will NOT let this defeat me!

NOT a good start :-(
Yesterday's run did not go well.
I set out around 07:45 for a 12km run.
I plan to pop into the running shop on Wednesday and pick up a knee support (and some advice from the friendly shop owner) which will enable me to continue my training.
In hind-sight: playing golf yesterday after the injury had occurred may have been slightly short-sighted of me, but I played well and had a good time, so in my book it was worth it.
With respect to getting lost: I decided upon a route I've not run before so I wrote down road names on the back of my hand before I set off. However, this being the Kent countryside, there are no road signs on country lanes, and one incorrect turn led to a hole nightmare of being lost and going up and down hills for what seemed to be an eternity (when is was only in fact a couple of km).
I have added a map to demonstrate my error (blue line planned run, red line actual run). If you follow the link to the run you will also see that there was a somewhat extreme hill profile. This is good as the Tunbridge Wells half marathon contains some serious hills, but bad as I was not quite ready to contend with that many.
http://runkeeper.com/user/grahamtutt/activity/66466528
Still: onwards and upwards. Positive thoughts for my knee please....
I set out around 07:45 for a 12km run.
- At 3km my iPod finally gave up the ghost and died (don't worry I now have a new one already).
- At 4.5km I took a wrong turn and got completely lost.
- At 10km I put my right foot down on some ice causing a searing pain in my right knee as it locked and aggravated an existing injury to my Medial Cartilage Meniscus. I am now unable to walk properly.

And we're off... (again)
It's been quite a while since I've found myself on Tonbridge High Street on a Friday night, but yesterday I got to experience the sights and sounds of the town on a cold January evening. I hasten to add that I was not out drinking with the majority of townsfolk but pounding the pavement as I get well and truly into training for the forthcoming Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon.
I have once more decided to run around 13.1 miles (21 km) of lovely Weald of Kent countryside in order to raise much needed funds for the PSP Association. Chances are if you're reading this page then you'll almost definitely know that already so I'll stop banging on about it.
My training began 11 days ago and I have only 6 weeks until the main event: this is not an easy task. However, I have adopted an 8 week training guide designed for moderately unfit people and have been following it to the letter (well almost). In the last 11 days I have lost 2.5Kg in weight and am now (fairly) comfortably covering runs between 8 and 10 km. Tomorrow I set out for my first 12 km run of the year.
For those of you who are interested I will attach a copy of the training plan to this blog.
Unlike my last effort two years ago where I set a reasonable time of 1 hour 41 minutes, I will be covering the 21 km half marathon at a more pedestrian pace this year. I'll be coming home somewhere around the 1 hour 50 minute mark. The reason for this is twofold: firstly I haven't been able to run for the best part of a year which has left me somewhat less fit than I was two years ago. Secondly, I have managed to knacker both of my knees. The lack of running last year was mainly due to my knee problems, but more about that in a later post.
I have decided to make this year's training effort a more interactive experience, and as such have been recording my runs via the RunKeeper iPhone application. Basically it keeps a GPS track of me as I run and displays the results to all who are interested. You can view my run from last night by following the web link below:-
http://runkeeper.com/user/grahamtutt/activity/66252901
I will also be broadcasting my training runs live on the Internet so you can follow me as I pass slowly through the streets of Tonbridge in the evenings, and through our beautiful countryside on a Sunday morning. This will culminate in a live broadcast of me running the Tunbridge Wells marathon.
As soon as I have the technology sorted I will post instructions on this blog.
