On monday I attempted to jog 5km however on the 4.2km marker I started to feel a pain on my left knee, so I slowed down and started walking. I decided to rest 2 full days in complete potatoe couch mode. Today I got up at 4am and jogged 5.1km in 38 minutes, I feel great!!! oh by the way does this mean I graduated???

Well done!! 5k smashed 🎉

Very sensible to end your run on Monday. I had a problem with my knee last year, ignored it, ran on it and ended up out of action for 9 months with bursitis and a knee the size of a grapefruit. Missed running (and put on over a stone) so I'm back on C25K, up to week 6, run 1 today 🙂
