Nearly hitting.the big 50 so thought it's time to get fit. So far i'm loving it and seems to be getting easier although my knees are sore after the run and cor about 12 hours after. Anyone experiencing knee pain?

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

It is the impact of running that causes most new runner's aches and pains, so do all you can to minimise it.

Slow down, avoid heelstriking, keep footfall under your body not out in front, run on grass or treadmill and wear proper running shoes fitted after a gait analysis done at a specialist running shop.

Stretching after every run will also help.

Enjoy your journey.

Well done it’s a good feeling to get past week 1 !

Not had knee pain but had weird clicking knee for a bit , maybe that was my body creaking into action slowly 😆

Good luck !

Oh the knee pain will hopefully pass as i get used to the running or maybe, just like you it's creaking into action slowly too 😂🤣
