Week 4

[Pebbles64]

I ran run 1 of week 4 very unsuccessfully, didn’t run for the full time, aches in hips & back of knee. did run 1 again yesterday & completed it but still back of knee pain. I’ve been doing a few strengthening exercises so hopefully get better

Congratulations! 👏 I havent started W4 yet as I decided to repeat W3 because I can’t manage 3 mins non stop - lungs ok it’s a (recently stopped) smoker’s artery problem with my legs. Best wishes to you for the rest of W4, I hope I get there soon👍

Hi pebbles back of knee pains come and go with me too, I just completed run 2 week 4 it's quite stressful on the legs for us novices, the right shoes, warm up and warm down exercises and lots of water has helped me, keep going well done for persevering
