Week 37: The 20 run : 5 walk ratio

Still trying to find a solution for my negative thoughts and worries about level of training.  I feel I should be running more, for longer and faster.  I am pleased to have found some advice on the internet that comforts me a little.  It seems some trail runners train to run 20 minutes and walk for 5 minutes.  This certainly seems to fit more with my training style.  Today I always walk uphill.  I find myself quickly out of breath and my heart rate soars if I try and run uphill.  So I use uphill sections to recover by walking at as rapid a pace as possible.
Only managed one run of 10km this week.  The weather was against me so I spent more time cross training in the gym.  At the weekend I was accompanying my kid's rugby team to a tournament.  My left knee started playing up again, with tight hamstring and thigh muscles.  I am really worried now as the symptoms are very similar to by meniscus tear, two years ago.  I really do not want to go through the whole scan and operation circus again.  It would also put me out of action for a few months, meaning I would miss my trail run.
