Week 8 knee injury!

Hey everyone, on Saturday I did my last run of week 8, all was well until that evening when I stood up and had a sharp pain above my kneecap. Been resting since and it feels OK but I’m worried about doing further damage...any tips??

We aren't medically qualified, so...if it feels okay head out for a gentle jogette... but at the first twinge stop... and go and get it checked out by an expert:)

Delighted that I managed the 30 minute run today, took it very gently and my knee is fine (touch wood etc) so very much hoping it was a one off!
