WK2R3 - I could cry! Had to stop on my last run due to pain in my right knee 😩

Slow walk home. I had an op on my left knee a few years ago due to a complex tear in my medial meniscus so there was no way I could risk it and carry on. Absolutely gutted.

Few days rest and need a knee support I think.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. The knee support may help but old injuries can be problematic. I think it's good to listen to your body - perhaps best to see your GP when you can and try another form of exercise for the moment that's not so hard on your knees.

Thank you. This isn't an old injury, it's the opposite knee 😞 I've got support on it and see how it feels after the weekend. Had a good cry, I'm so disappointed x

Oh yes, sorry I missed that it was the opposite knee! Yes, probably good to rest it and try again - don't let this setback get you down.

So sorry to hear that maybe some ice would help. I do hope it recovers and you can continue C25K 🤞

Thank you. So upset and disappointed. Currently got a support bandage on and will ice later. Hoping a few days rest will help and nothing too serious 🙏
