Wk6 run1 completed with creaky knees

Just completed wk6rn1 and strava tells me I had a fairly good pace (for me!) took a week and a half off because I was really starting to struggle with my knees (I religiously stretch and warm up and down). Bought some knee supports and off I went again (repeated a run first which I prob didn’t need to do).

Have also started some gentle weight training to try and strengthen my knees (and overall muscle).

Six weeks ago running felt impossible and frightening. I Couldn’t have gotten this far without this forum, the advice and support has been amazing, just want to say thank you to everyone that’s commented and supported me, a total stranger, on my journey. You’re all ace and I’m very grateful to you all x

I’m still at it! How are you doing with your running?

Went out for 30 mins yesterday...didn't make the 5k (4.1). So still plenty if consolidation work to do. Thank you for asking.
