45 days out. Recovery protocol. The "creaky" feeling in my left leg is finally fading. Naproxen, Voltaren, and strict rest are doing the job. Rest till Sunday to be sure!
Training strategy shift: More treadmill volume ahead. Planning to swap some Z2 runs for 1-hour steep uphill walks. Same metabolic engine work, but far less impact on the joints. Need to tame my ego to achieve my goals. Keeping the 1800 kcal discipline.

46 days out. I feel like Iām slightly hyper-focused on my knee. Not sure if it actually feels weird or if Iām just overthinking it. Stairs are fine, walking is fine. Still I will wait until Sunday to resume workouts. Better safe than sorry. Meanwhile: Sauna and a strict 1800 kcal diet to keep the weight in check.

48 days out. Red flag. Treadmill broke, but the knee pain is the real issue. The aftermath of running on uneven terrain. Immediate pivot: Swimming & Physio. Better to lose 4 days now than 4 weeks later.

49 days out. Landed at 1 AM. From mediterranean sun to -9 degrees. Thermal shock is real - even more so when using public transportation. Today is strictly for biological renewal and deep stretching. Recharging the system before the final training block.

51 days out. 10.00 km @ 6:06 min/km. Knees are screaming from the hills. Ignored the watch, focused on mechanics to survive the terrain. Need that treadmill recovery and sauna ASAP.
