Well done - do take care though. Better to be cautious than risk worse injury!

My thoughts exactly I did stop just before it started to play up

Sounds like you should start around eek 3 and follow the plan. You'll be running 5k in no time

Just found your post. Well done for listening to your body. Rest when you need it - take it steady. Missing your report, happy to wait until you are back on form musketeer!

I do my running on a treadmill in the local leisure centre to spare my knees from too much impact. I've had knee problems for years after playing and refereeing rugby for almost 40 years but since starting the programme in April, I've had no knee problems at all. Again, works for me but probably not for everyone.
