Almost done but had to walk the last minute of the last run as my knees could g take it any more.
Waiting for my knee supports to be delivered and as I’d already had 2 rest days I felt I needed to do it.
Going to have another 2 rest days and see how my knees feel.
Well done to arrive at W4. Rest as long as it takes as you can't rush recovery. Is your footwear suited to running?
Yes I’ve got ASICS but I think it’s more whether my knees are suited to running ... post torn meniscus surgery etc I’m awaiting some knee supports
Have you checked out the NHS leg strengthening exercises? This will build up muscle around the knee. You might remember some of these if you had physio after your surgery. You can ro these on your rest days.
I feel your pain. I attempted W4R1 on Monday evening. (I have daily back pain post back surgery 5 years ago). I sailed through the first 3 min jog and tackled the 5 mins. I was relieved to hear MJ telling me I only had 1 min to go......it felt like the longest minute ever - eventually I stopped and checked my phone to discover the App had frozen.....I think I ran about 7 minutes. I had no energy at all. Couldn’t complete the next 2 runs and dragged myself home. I haven’t had the courage to attempt W4R2 and know I’m going to have to repeat this week a few times
Fish, chips and mushy peas!
Hello all - 71 years old and hoping to run!
