I gave up jogging a few years ago because of knee problems but I do miss it. I seem to be able to walk for long distances without any problems so I decided yesterday to start week 1. I was so slow but I did it and the knees seem ok

Welcome to the forum and well done

on getting started.

Slow is good........we won't have to tell you to slow down.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.
