Rest and recovery are as much a part of "training" as running itself. These "canned" training schedules that so many people seem to use never seem to mention this simple fact.

The fact of the matter is that there are three particular body parts that you should never overstress .... knee parts, hamstrings, and Achilles tendons. You have indicated knee problems. Quit running and forget your "scheduled" training. Seriously. You probably have enough training in already to finish your Chicago marathon if you stop running and just rest your knees for the next 3 weeks. Better to do this rather than blow out a knee.
