I managed to complete Wk3 Run2 but one of my 72 yr old knees felt painful and unstable so I gave up 3 wks ago. Absolutely loved it though so would I be foolish to start again or must I take up something less enjoyable? 😢

Knee pain can happen to anyone so I'd definitely see if you can find a way to keep going with something you love, perhaps getting some advice from a physio or podiatrist. Have you had a gait analysis to ensure that your shoes are supporting you the right way? Finding softer surfaces to run on may help too.

Follow the advice in the guide to the plan on minimising impact, strengthening exercises, stretching after every run and hydration and it will make a difference.
