nuddle Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hi, I tried this program a few years ago, got half way through it, then got quite sick and in hospital, and never picked it up again. I am 42, and battling some health issues, but thought getting back into more exercise may be helpful. I have just started week 2, and must say I am loving it, I have been running every second day, and doing yoga on the other days. Yesterday was my first day of week 2, today I have one sore knee, not overly sore, but niggly. I run on the road, are sore knees something that just means my body is adjusting, or is there better surfaces to run, better shoes to reduce impact? Any tips on keeping my knees healthy would be great :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedingsloth Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hi nuddle, great to hear that you're back on and loving it! As for sore knees, it can be an indication of a number of things, so it's probably best if you monitor it and work out what/when it hurts. I developed one sore knee the first time round, and this time I got proper shoes in accordance to my foot profile and that fixed my problem. Proper running shoes are an invaluable investment! I have read that varying the running surfaces is a good idea, pavement, road, grass Etc. But there are probably better informed runners on this forum to advise more on this. Best to get your knee checked out at the doctors if the pain persists. ◡̈ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about finding an oval and running there, but dont like the thought of having to get in the car first, might be worth a try though.
