Just an update because it's been a while since I wrote anything. I still have PFS (Patella Femmoral Syndrome) or runners knee. I've found that with KT tape, anti inflams and plenty of trigger point rolling I can control it. It hasn't stopped me running but I'm hoping that it corrects itself really soon.
Other than that it's business as usual. Getting six days running and one rest day in a week and mixing up my weekday runs to include hills and flat. The standard Saturday run in now 5+ hours which covers off the time on feet part of the training.

Hope the hammy as well, is on the improve. Injuries are a pain! I think this has been my worst year for them since the 90s. Surely nothing to do with ageing.
Ewen,I had PFS in the right leg but I think I have that sorted. But I stressed the left leg a bit and got a micro tear in the right VMO. I've now been to the physio to get it sorted out. The thing is so small that it doesn't affect my walking but when run it gets tight at toe off. So I really have to get it right or it will just tear again or in a different spot.
If I didn't have a race in January I wouldn't be worried but every week is another one lost for training. I will just have to do lots of walking and maybe try running in water.
Yeah, water running is worth a try. Same movement and good for cardio fitness.
Think my right calf is due to running differently with the left hammy problem. Luckily I have no goal races coming up so can build up gradually.
