My knees ache as well, when I was doing the 5min warm up walk my right knee kept giving a little but was ok whilst I was running.

I’ve read it could be down to incorrect footwear and that we should get our running gait checked.

Could also just be our bodies getting use to the impact from running. Fingers crossed nothing worse.

Are you doing your warm up and cool down stretches?
