Just finished week 8 can’t believe it. I’m 64 and on my birthday did my first 25 minute run. Look forward to every run although I am feeling it in my knees ( I have a knee reconstruction one side and cartilage removed on the other) hoping in time my legs will get stronger and my knees will feel better

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run and knee strengthening exercises which will all help.
However, with your history it may be wise to consult your GP.
Enjoy your journey.
