Knee pain 😩

Decided to delay my week 3 runs as I had noticed a sharp pain in my right kneecap when kneeling, like I had knelt on broken glass. Thankfully it did not hurt unless I knelt on it. Did not kneel on it for a few days and tested it on Friday, much improved. Completed week 3 run 1 yesterday, found it hard at times but I am determined. I now have invested in some Sony earphones that fit around my ear £12 and they don't fall off - yippee😆. I have been running in aerobic trainers so after my run treated myself to some running trainers.😊

I hope your new trainers help with your knees. It's odd but I've always had knee pains but running seems to help it.
