quieter scalp, loud knee

3 runs this week, short loops around the neighborhood, and the knee held up for 2 of them but started pulling around the 10 minute mark on Saturday. Nothing sharp, just a dull ache on the outside of the right knee. Iced it after and skipped Sunday.

Scalp did its usual thing before a phone screen on Wednesday — flaky by Tuesday night, mostly along the eyebrow line. By Friday it had settled back down on its own, nothing changed except the interview being behind me. Stress really does seem to be the bigger trigger.

Also got 4 applications out this week, which felt like something after such a slow stretch! Next week I want to try stretching before the run instead of only after.

    thanks for this, the stress-scalp link really clicked… iced my knee too, 15 min last night

    The outside-of-knee ache showing up around the same point each run is what jumps out to me, my mom gets that same spot after a couple miles in whenever she skips a warm up, so the stretching plan for next week sounds like it’s pointing in the right direction… we started icing hers for 15 minutes after every run about a month back and it’s held steady since, no more skipped days from pain.

    same knee ache for me, right around 8 min
