W1 R2

[Big_D]

After running (jogging) on tarmac/gravel/some meadow ...

Ow! Will my knees ever recover ?

[Rignold]

No. they are ruined for life. You will need replacement surgery before tackling Week 2

[Big_D in reply to Rignold]

That will set me back a bit, in every way

[Hidden]

Aching or pain? If the first then rest up and you'll be fine. If the second see a medic. But it's early in your new running life and I don't know how fit and bendy your joints are. Mine were in shock at this point in the plan. But mixing up terrain is a good way of body conditioning

But the route looks gorgeous, so that must be an encouragement! Hope your knees forgive you in time for next run out.

Good luck completing your first week

Hi D

I'm wk 1 and tonight will be run 3

My knees ache but at this stage that's all

I'm doing this on grass but a friend said he was quicker on tarmac. I just feel it could at this stage do me damage.

Being new to this I'm sure I'll learn

Good luck moving forward

Nigel
