Thanks! I had been running around 5 days a week most of my adult life, so as you can imagine I was indeed totally gutted when I had to give up. My best marathon time was 3.14, but endurance hill/mountain running was really my thing, which with hindsight was probably what did for my knee . Literally couldn't swim a single length of crawl a couple of years ago, but now doing around 11k of swimming a week. Still really miss the running, but get a real buzz out of open water swimming in the summer

I try and run every morning. If anyone is short of time try this;

5kms - split every 0.25km . Run 0.25km's then 0.25km sprint etc etc. (must do the 5km in less than 21 mins)

Majorly good for your cardio fitness

Still nothing on my sister! She got selected for the GB team for a hill race in Italy on the 27th! 8km with a 700m climb, no descent! Nutter!
