Wk6R3 done. Stiff knee after rest.

[anilkumarr11]

Honestly, was really scared going into today's run. Wk6R2 2nd run was a bit difficult, so was not sure I would be able to do this. However, I was able to complete the run with relative ease. Was worried, so ran really slow. I suppose there might have been people walking faster :-).

Finally Wk6R3 done.

Strangely, I am having stiff knee after a prolonged(more than 20 minutes) period of rest(sitting, sleeping). Once I start moving, it goes away. I have no pain while running. This has been going on for 2 weeks and seems counter to what others have posted on the forum.

Plan to visit an ortho this week. Praying that I can continue running.

Well done you!! 25 minutes without stopping! Excellent! Enjoy your success!

Yes. Like so many others on this forum, I am amazed by my progress. Even more unbelievable is the fact that I actually enjoy it. I am not really into exercise, but I look forward to my 3 running days a week. Thanks to the NHS for creating this, and thanks to the wonderful folks here.

I want it (30 minute runs) to be a part of my exercise routine. Just cant bear to have an injury now and not be able to run.

Well done! Do you stretch after a run? I always find that and trying to keep moving after a run works well.

Honestly, no.

Oldfloss has suggested some exercises, let me try that.

Up your rest day exercise as the runs get longer... and try these out for size

Thanks for that. Let me try this out.

Will postpone the Ortho for 2 weeks. Will keep you posted.
