nikkikay Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hi A bit about myself, I haven't worked out in years!(something I am not proud of), I gained 50lbs in the past 3 years and I am overweight by 30 lbs. I am diagnosed with Pre-diabetic and we want to try for kids, my doctor said that I need to lose weight.(solution for most of the issues I am facing). Started this c25k from yesterday and finished first day. I have few questions and would appreciate your help! 1. I am not able to run even for 1 min.. is this the case for anyone..or is it just me? how can I improve myself. 2. Four years ago I was in a accident which hurt my knee, I was diagonsed with runners knee. Since yesterday, one of my knees(my good one), is stiff and it is making cracking noise when I am hopping. What should I do. Please help! Thanks! Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkikay Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks so much for responding! I really appreciate your help and motivation! Today I am noticing swelling on that knee planning to visit my doctor. One quick question about walking program how does it work .. should I walk fast instead of jogging for 60 sec time interval?

Ariel Detonation Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Great work on starting C25K! To help with the swelling try RICEing your knee R- rest, I- ice, C- compression, E- elevation. For my bad knee I take an antiinflammatory, like ibuprofen or aleve, ice it for about 20 minutes, put on a compression bandage and prop my foot on the back of the couch while watching TV. Something like that should help ease the swelling until you can see you doctor. As for walking the app, I would think that walking at a nice brisk pace so that you're slightly out of breathe on the running intervals and easing to a leisurely pace for the walking intervals would be a great start! Keep it up! You got this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
