4.2km on a Treadmill in an air conditioned gym

I thought it was time to give my knee a test, so the treadmill was the answer. I could always press the stop button at anytime if my knee began to hurt. Also, it would be a bit cooler than going running outdoors at this precise moment in time.

I planned to run 4.2km and that it exactly what I did, although I did begin to feel my knee a bit at the 3.8km stage. Only twinges mind.
