Soo today was W3R2 and I really wasn’t fancying it much after a days work and it being quite warm but it went really well and I can see how the programme builds gradually in a positive way ..just feeling a bit of ouch on the insides of my knees ..not sure if it’s my new running shoes or just being an old bird 😂

That's great, well done on getting out there against staying in with your feet up !

Or you could do both...putting your feet while feeling proud of yourself for having been out running : )

Great job. There’s some knee strengthening work in the guide and the strength and flex programme. Good shoes, nice slow running, landing the feet flat and under you, possibly on a softer surface will all help minimise the impacts, with the remaining impact strengthening your bones as you go. See how you’re feeling next run day and don’t be afraid to take an extra rest day if needed.

That’s good advice 😁 thank you ..I tend to think it’s my new shoes..never had a problem with my old Reeboks but they were falling to pieces..in fact I was going to rescue them from the bin but the bin men got there first!😂
