B****y knee again!

[Greylady1]

I finished W4 yesterday.  I had a sore knee after w4r2 but it felt OK, a bit stiff so went for it!  Big mistake.  Now it's really painful, so back to ice, rest and painkillers!  So I don't think I'll be doing w5 just yet.  So frustrated, but I should be able to do w5 of the strength and flex programme. I hope it'll be fine soon.

Oh that's bad luck. Let it heal properly - a week or 2 - before running again. Unfortunately there are no short cuts with knees. Ease back into it.

Thanks for the advice.  I had a problem with this knee rights at the beginning and was too impatient with it.  I think I should take plenty of time to let it heal, and make sure I do some stretching  and strengthening exercises!!
