Take it easy to start with, apparently.

I didn't realise this, and knackered my right knee last week, so have done almost no exercise this week :(

I've been going for a year now so I'm apparently gym fit and outside is the next step up.

Running* 11 miles on tarmac over 4 consecutive days. Various bits were aching, but the knee got worse by the end of Thursday. Left it until monday, and ran in. Couldn't climb (up or down) stairs unaided. Hobbled home.

They say "no pain, no gain" but it's not quite what I'd expected.



*when I say run, it's more of a mild jogging pace - about 6mph.

That's the advantage of running on the track it's some special springy surface which helps reduce the risk
