Hi
I turned 40 july 1st and like a lot of people my age decided to take up jogging to get fit .
I got me self a pair of rebooks , shorts , tops etc and set off on me first run on the 26th june , went round the block which is about 1 1/2 miles and felt awfull ,lol .
Did the same run tuesday upped it to 3 miles wednesday , 4 on Thursday and friday , then 7 on saturday .
As many of you can guess i now have really bad knee pain and cant walk down the stairs . I didnt realise you had to stretch or warm up and also warm down . Ive borrowed a bibrating heat pad and have been doing 30 mins leg stretching a day since saturday and the pain seems to be easing a little .
Does anyone else have any suggestions for me .
Many thanks Rob .
P.S , i live in the beautifull town of Rochester and would dearly love to continue running through its dickensian tyoe streets and parks
