Hey guys, I got a knee injury back in April and stopped running for about 6 weeks as recommended by my doctor and physical therapist. My knee now feels much better and since 6 weeks has passed I am now beginning to slowly run again. I have an Olympic race in 4 weeks and I need to build as much run fitness as I can before then without over doing it and possibly injuring myself further. I am not expecting to have a fast run on the day and I would be happy with a reasonably paced effort...for my ability.

I am wondering if anybody has had an interruption like this so close to a race and how you approached returning to running?

Thanks for any input you may have.
