In The Red-Headed League why does Sherlock Holmes beat upon the pavement outside of Jabez Wilson's office?

My guess is that Holmes recognised John Clay from the description provided by Jabez Wilson of the white splash of acid on his forehead, and he was anxious to find him. After all, Holmes did say he had "one or two little turns" with Clay in the past.

Sherlock Holmes - The Gloria Scott?
Ah, The Adventure of the Gloria Scott (GLOR), Sherlock Holmes' first-ever case, his third being The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual (MUSG). When Holmes dropped out of college after only two years and lived in a flat in Montague street, his first cases were those brought to him by former fellow-students who knew of his powers of logic and deduction. Eventually, he started to gain a little reputation outside of school and was able to be involved in cases the police consulted him on. Thus, he became the world's only Consulting Detective.
How did Sherlock Holmes survive being thrown off a cliff?
Lord Blackwood had a clip on his noose that shifted the weight to his waist and took a mixture of ancient herbs to give himself the appearance of being dead. The herbs momentarily stop one's pulse from being felt. The limestone outside of Lord Blackwood's grave wasn't shattered by supernatural force. Instead, it was shattered beforehand, and glued together by the honeycomb substance Holmes and Watson saw while going through the redheaded dwarf's quarters.

Are treadmills worse or better for your knees when it comes to running?
Because there is usually more "give" on a treadmill, they are usually easier on your knees than running outside. However, if you are running outside on a very soft surface such as sand, that surface could actually be easier on your knees than running on a treadmill. Typically, though, if you run on pavement or hard dirt surfaces, you knees would be better off if you used a treadmill.
