Morning! I’ve just completed my first week C5K, it was fun. A niggly pain in my left knee is a nuisance though. Should I be concerned? I really don’t want to stop the program. I’m 69 and very fit from walking loads (dogs). I’ve done the warming up/down exercises each time. My knee feels tender but I can walk normally. Any thoughts?

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.
Minor knee aches are very common for new runners and it is the consequence of the impact.
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.
