So I stopped running on R8W3 about 2 1/2 months ago with Patellofemoral pain syndrome and now feel well enough to start in the new year delimema is do i start at R1W1 or do i start at a later Run 🤔

Just go out and try a steady little jog and see where you get to

I was on week 7 until I caught norovirus followed by a horrible cough/cold. Haven’t ran for maybe 6/7 weeks. Today was my first day back and I was disheartened thinking I would be back to square one but once I got back to the gym I decided to give week5 run 1 a go and although I found it tiring I did it. I’ve decided that I will try this run at least twice more before moving on to w5/r2. Not sure whether I’m doing the right thing as I’m a complete novice so if some of the guys on here who have a lot more knowledge and experience say something different then my advice would be to listen to them. Good luck getting back into it. I feel so much more positive now I’ve made the move to get back to it x

Have you been treated by a physio or doctor? Might be worth getting their advice as we are (mostly) not medically qualified and I would hate to advise something that makes your knees worse again.

Thanks Hidden yes I'm being treated by a physio and have another appointment Wed so will ask then...... I'm just impatient lol wanted to go out tomorrow what with being the very start of 2018 oh well a few more days why hurt I suppose ☹ x

[Hidden in reply to Mo-Mar]

I really understand the frustration but you could do some other exercise instead maybe......

I am doing low impact and knee strengthening exercises but not the same effect as running
