Knees are hurting

[Jnubster]

Evening everyone been a while since I’ve been here! Still actually enjoying running & try to complete 100km a month. Who’d have thought it, having only taken up running last June, completing couch to 5K in July 2020 💪🏼However at the mo I’m having trouble with my left knee, just aching & I’ve noticed both knees hurt if I’m sitting about! As soon as I move I’m struggling to get up off the chair 🙈 I’m trying to rest but I’m worse when I’m not moving 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, that sounds painful and annoying. I would think seeing a physio might be your best bet to understand what is causing it, as the source can be in a completely different part of the body, from glutes to feet.

I also run (slowly) and have recurring knee issues, and if I let my knee strengthening exercises slip, they tend to come back.

So whilst you wait for a physio appointment, maybe the following post with a video about knee issues and various knee strengthening workouts might help:

Sending your knees get-well wishes.
