Manage to get through C25K and graduated nearly 2 weeks ago - had a medial meniscus tear injury many moons ago, but this had not been a problem for me. until this morning.......got up 5am for my 5th consolidation run, then wow, awful shooting medial pain, my leg gave way, it was such a shock, I could have cried 😭😭. All I could think was oh no I’m not going to be able to run again - I suppose rest at the moment is the only option, but feeling sad

Sorry about your injury, I hope it won't be long before you can run again.

Sorry to hear that. Rest up, let it heal, and hopefully you'll be running again before too long 🙂

No just a lot of pain. Last time I had a little operation to clean up the torn meniscus because my knee kept locking!! so 6 weeks taking it easy after that

I’m so sorry. Hope it heals up well. I understand the frustration when you have just got back into your stride. You’re a runner now though so this is just a tiny setback along a very long road. Take care
