I am at present stopped running as it was killing my knees. I have just started biking again after getting my bike back. I have just got a new seat, so comfy and springiness. So am getting fit this way instead. Every now and then am walking for a few miles every 3 days. I did enjoy couch to 5k but my knees just hurt so much and I am finding this is better for me.

Thanks just want to let you all know am still trying to get fit.

Thanks for listening.

Perhaps walking and cycling are better exercises for you Carlos, as long as you are off the couch and getting exercise that is the main thing.

Oh your poor knees! Enjoy that comfy saddle instead, and if you decide to try running again, have s look at Japanese slow jogging, it's much kinder on the joints.
