During my injury & consequently imposed week of rest between wk8 & wk9 I have been having to exercise & build the muscles supporting my knees. Found this page and so far, based on relief of pain & new found security in my left knee I can recommend them .. week 9 day 1 on Friday or Saturday hopefully. nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/...

I am going to have to do these too since my knees are definitely complaining after the last 2 runs. Pilates tonight helped a bit, I just need to be self disciplined enough to do these myself! Good luck with your next run Rob.

Exercising daily with no running - never thought I would miss it as much as I do ! Going to start week 9 on Friday .. should have graduated by now though :(

You'll get there. Better a little later than planned than too injured to get there at all. Chin up :)
