Knees aching?

[Minsy]

Has anyone else suffered with aching knees? They don’t hurt as such. I’m guessing it’s that they are not used to this running malarkey

Hi MInsy , I go by the stereo theory , if both legs feel the same its an ache . If it's only on one side it could be an injury ? Everything aches a bit today though !

Take a peek at the Strength and forum site.. we have put loads of exercise on there to give you some support with the new running aches and pains

Well done for beginning this

Okay..how much non impact exercise are you doing on some of your rest days Your legs, arms, back etc etc all need to build up along with those legs

Head across to the Strength and Flex forum...try the knee exercises and also take a look at the other pinned exercises posts.

You may find them helpful

Thank you. Really helpful. I do yoga and Pilates (once a week for both) and walk frequently. I’ll take a look at junked exercises for sure. Thanks again

Yessss! I have found using knee supports when running & use of Voltarol rubbed on afterwards on my knees has helped a lot in the early stages of the runs ... good luck 🍀

The guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... has advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run and knee strengthening exercises, all of which will help.
