I do lots of Tai Chi and Qigong but rarely raise my heart rate. I used to jog a little but my knees started to hurt and I developed a 'policeman's heel.' I want to start running again but don't want injuries. So let's see what happens.
Running - but not injuring.: I do lots of Tai... - Couch to 5K

Good luck! Interesting about the Qi Gong as I'm using that to warm up before running sometimes. It seems just a general all round thing to do@
Hope you enjoy your running adventure

There's lots of evidence that, done slowly and gradually, running can strengthen and support your knees.
Good luck. 👍
