Week 1 run 1 done -again!

Back to it today 😁 I got as far as week 2 run 1 last time, then had terrible knee pain for a good couple of weeks 🙁 After starting yoga, having gait analysis and new running shoes to help with my overproduction, I've completed this morning's run, albeit on a treadmill, and I am so glad I have! 😁😁😁 Onwards and upwards! Again! 🤣 x

That’s great news! Has your knee pain gone now?

Yes, completely pain-free now thanks. I waited a good few weeks after the pain had gone before starting again. I've also lost a little more weight and I've taken up yoga to help strengthen my muscles. Fingers crossed!🤞 x

PS. The original post should say over-pronation not over-production!

That’s great news. Will be keeping fingers crossed for you! I read your post as saying “over pronation” so I clearly spend far too much time thinking about running. 😂😂😂
