Week 2 run 1 knee problem

[mishie1967]

Hi! I started the c25k a couple of weeks ago. Week 1 run 1 and 2 I thought I was going to die but run 3 was amazing. I bought some new shoes after getting my gait checked as adviced. Week2 run 1 knee hurting but I kept going. Got home and did some stretches and think I over did the stretches. I have now been hobbling around for a week with lots of pain in my left knee and taking copious amounts of pain killers. We were away on holiday so couldn't really rest up but now I'm home I intend on resting this week so I can get back out there. So disappointed at the moment but determined.....

If it persists, get it checked out by a medical professional.

Thank you. Resting today and it feels better already but not rushing it will be keeping my feet up for a few days

Get it checked out if the pain persists,as IannodaTruffe syas... and if it feels easier but kicks in again when you head out.. then definitely get it checked out
