You’re gonna get there... your determination says so.

Strengthening the knees will help... there’s some exercises in the pinned posts.

This is runners world’s guide to the knee... including advice on how to “injuryproof” them runnersworld.com/uk/health/...

Enjoy your next run, you’re doing great.
