ylvilove Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hoping for some advice as a new runner: I happily and successfully completed the 5k Color Run run when I was in about week 6 of the C25K training programme. I ran the whole 5k (well, not very fast, but I didn't stop and I didn't walk) as the atmosphere was so great and I felt on top of the world - and previously I had never run further in one go than a little over 3k, and the 3k I had only achieved about 3 times. So - proud moment! BUT since then, my knees - the right knee in particular, rarely the left - have been a bit sore. It's a kind of dull soft ache, mostly above the knee (not on the outside or inside) but I can feel it all around the knee too sometimes, guess it radiates - and it sometimes goes away after I have jogged for a bit. I had 10 days off running after the 5k 'race' to rest up. I do knee exercises since then - about 3 weeks ago since I completed the race now - but these exercises, too, increase the soreness of my right knee. Is this common and what can I do? I am wary of just quitting for weeks on end but is that what I have to do? (I also have to cycle to and from work, have no other way of getting there, so total rest is sadly not an option). I am guessing I over-exerted myself in the 5k run but I am really hoping the injury (or whatever it is) will eventually go - but how? Advice from others very welcome as doctors only ever tell you to rest and don't show any real interest xx andreakellen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hi there, So sorry that is happening to you. If you have rested and it is not any better, You must seek a Dr.,s care. I cannot pinpoint it amd make the wrong diagnosis. Hope you feel better quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
