I got to week 8, sprained my MCL, and after a month’s rest (crutches etc) I am back running. Have gone back to week 3. Taking it very carefully. Had my gait analysed and saw how much I pronate so will be getting new shoes. So do stop as soon as your knee hurts especially older runners like me (65)!
