Bailey27 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hi, I'm a newbie to C25K, just started week 3. I'm really enjoying it and am amazed at how quickly my fitness is imrpovinh but I'm getting quite a bit of pain in my knees and ankles. I'm able to push through the pain and carry on but I'm worried that I might do some damage by doing this? Also I have a sponsored 14 mile walk on Sunday and I'm not sure how best to fit in my runs around it. I usually run on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings but am concerned I'll be too sore if I run on Saturday. I'm also not sure I'll be recovered from my walk in time to run well on Tuesday morning. Am I better to just re-do an earlier week or something and then pick it up again properly once I've recovered fully? Thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Bailey, Don't look at the C25K as a strict schedule, use it as a guide. If you have other activities, just adapt C25K around your life. It is OK, it will not yell at you and nobody will know..... The same goes to your problem with knees and joints. Try to ease up the load, go slowly and/or shorter distance. Take two days rest instead of one. See if it helps and pain is gone or subside. If it is not, then check with your doctor. Otherwise try slow increase the load. slbickett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
