Good run but knee pain during the night.. ouch

[Frencci]

Hello. I am on w1r2. W1r1 went really well no stiffness or anything so really thought ok give fhis a go, but did it in the gym of the treadmill. I though yesterday what a lovely evening I would walk the dog briskly then do the warm up and run home from a friends.. all went ok until I got a pain in my foot but sort of walked it off and through extending my trip home. I did ok cool down and all but wow woke during the night with horrible pain n stiffness in the back of my knee... what happened please?

Well done indeed... take it steady and slow....

We do expect aches and pains...our body's are wondering what the heck is happening... but never run through real pain... you will know the difference

Warm up well and stretch after the runs.. try these exercises...

I was great after the first run but just my knee is so stiff n painful and i have to walk to work lol. Think i have a strap i can put onit..

Lots of those stretches and massage,,, the knee support may help for the walk to work, but is not a long term solution..keep us posted..

i am ok walking now and even did a bike ride in the forest of dean yesterday but with a strap around my knee.. i hope to try running back on track mid or late next week... do i go back to where i was or do i start the whole thing all over again?
