Knee pain after graduation

[Golf2106]

Hi I haven’t posted for ages. I completed a few weeks ago and have been doing really well - 5k 2 or 3 times per week 42 mins is the best time! Last 2 weekends we’ve been to wales and I’ve run on the beach. Not soft sand but flat hard sand. Felt great while doing run but since then knees are really painful. If I go up down stairs or getting up from chair they are really aching. Not sure if it’s coincidence with beach runs. Any ideas? Seems strange it’s started now ?

Do you do any leg strengthening exercises, such as those linked to in the guide to C25K?

What are your shoes like?

My shoes are rubbish and I’m trying to get an appointment for gait analysis No I must be honest i don’t do exercises but I will now.thank you. Do I rest or can I carry on? Luckily my partner is a chiropractor and has just had a good look. He thinks it’s a medial tibia inflammation as is very tender in that area. Very sore ! Thank you for your help

There are two essential ways to minimise your issue.
