Even though I was really worried about this one because my knees have been feeling slightly shabby, I just went for it and after about 2 to or 3 minutes my knees were no longer hurting and completed the run with no stops! Bring on R2
W5R1 Done!!: Even though I was really worried... - Couch to 5K
W5R1 Done!!

Good for you! My knees play up a bit too but I just keep moving and suddenly the run is done! Sometimes they are a bit stiff and sore but it's a good excuse to lay back with cold packs on them.
Well done you (and your knees)

I find that my knees start to hurt if I am tiring and I am slumping / dragging my feet. As soon as I start 'running tall' again and thinking about my form the ache stops.
Good luck
Great, well done you I did the same run last night and was amazed as I got into my stride, it was almost an inconvenience having to stop to walk, (well almost)!!
Good luck for run 2. I'm going away for a few days so will be completing run 2 around Kielder Forest!! Can't wait

I too have knee pain hambone which disappears once I get into my stride so reckon it's just my joints waking up lol creak creak 😆

Very well done. I feel like I have a split personality sometimes when I run and the two personalities are constantly arguing over whether to run or not! One side is whining and giving several reasons not to run - the other says shut up and tie your laces!
You always feel much better for doing it whether the run is good or bad - it beats the sofa!
