Stop Farmer Stop!

Yesterday morning i went and had a chat with my physio about my chronic knee pain, after a few exercises and various twists and turns we have discovered that I have exactly the same issue with my right knee that i had with my left knee three years ago. When she measured my leg above the knee, my right leg is two cm smaller than my left, this is mostly because my Vastus medialis is smaller and weaker than it should be. this causes the foot to turn out a little which puts pressure on the outside of my leg and my IT band
As I said before this is the same problem I had on my left leg so i was a little confused about it.
Now if your a reader of my blog you will know that I have a  dedicated leg day and i do a fair bit of squats etc. and i have a long history of hill walking and cycling so I thought these muscles would be good and strong.
when I had the injury on the left side I didn't do anything to fix it, I just stopped running and it went away.
( after awhile).
The bottom line is at least six weeks of physio activities before i start back into long distance running. I'm going to try and do some shorter distances over the weekend and see how I get on.
