Thanks for all the advice so far!

I ended up taking a week off because I ran on sore knees and didn’t give them time to recover (never again!). Just did my repeat of w2r3 and was so very slow and while my muscles were working knees were fine! Did my stretches and feel like I’m all good to start w3 for my next run! Delighted! Thanks for all the advice so far. I wasn’t convinced I’d need/want the online forum but I’m loving it, it’s such a great source f info, encouragement and motivation! So, thanks! 😄

Hey wwps,

Glad you took the time to recover.

I too had some horrid knee pain in w2 and ended up taking 3 weeks off (I couldn't walk up and down the stairs it was so bad!) Touch wood, it's subsided now!

This forum is great for that advice and support!

Good luck on the rest of your journey.

Thank you, and you!

Have you got proper running shoes? I was running in my normal trainers to begin with and found that my knees were hurting, I then got some Asics running shoes and it made a massive difference.

I’ve bought some running shoes but they haven’t been ‘fitted’ so to speak - no shops open etc, but have been a great improvement on my regular trainers. Am aiming to in the coming weeks
