Week 2 completed

β€’5 Replies

Taking it slowly with 3 rest days between. Week 2 now completed. Few niggles with my knee. Did the knee strengthening exercises as recommended as a warm up . This seemed to help compared with WK2R2. Bit wary of the next run - onwards. πŸ˜ŠπŸƒ

Well done! Knee niggles are very common in week 2 and 3.

Well done.The knee exercises are not necessarily the best warm up. It is recommended to do dynamic stretching before a run, as linked to in the guide to the plan.

Make sure you do the 5 minutes brisk warm up walk as well.

OK. Thank you.

Are you doing knee exercises on your rest days? I had knee problems early on and stoped c25k altogether while I worked my way through the Strength and Flex plan - the knee problems haven't returned.
