So done my first run Saturday, felt really good! But my leg has decided to swell up and have a shooting pain straight through the knee cap, out of hours dr I go 😒 not letting it stop me though! Will be running the end of this week
It’s come to a halt! : So done my first run... - Couch to 5K
It’s come to a halt!

Don't run until all that pain goes, if you do, then it will just get worse.

Sorry to hear this... see what the doctor says... don’t run until you’re pain free. He may send you for physio, which would be good... if not and it’s no running, ask if you can start low impact strengthening work to prepare you for getting back.

Oh no! Hope it’s nothing too bad but that said definitely rest it and don’t run if it’s causing you pain or is swollen. Good luck 👍🏻
