I'm currently on week 3 (need to do the last run) but for the past few runs before and after I'm in so much pain!!
My knees and ankles are just soooo sore! I bought new running shoes becuase my last trainers were no good and though this would help but it hasn't. I just feel like I'm having to stop before I've really got started! What should I do, carry on through the pain or give it a break and then start again?
Thanks

🍏Nooo we never advise running in pain! You need to get advice from a physio or your GP before carrying on. The usual cause is running too fast too soon. Here is a guide to our program
Sorry just getting back to this, life has sort of got in the way.
Thank you for the replies, I appreciate the time taken.
The soreness was lasting inbetween running for basically the whole week.
I'd upped my size by a half size or so.
I wasn't tying them too tight because they were sore but not too loose either.
I'd not been overly active. I've two children under 3 so as much as I'd tried to stay active. I'm also probably about 3 stone overweight.
It seemed to have gone mostly now and I think it might have just been doing too much too soon, plus the extra weight. I rested my legs a little and have just finished week 5. I've slowed way way way down. I'm hoping that getting some of the weight off is going to help.
