    New runner, have been walking to try and lose a little weight (six months) and walking only 20k weekly, Last two weeks started running and am finding it very enjoyable, I'm timing by my ipod and its internal pedometer so its a fairly rough estimate for distance and time but its good enough for now and I've calculated using Mcmillan running, I'd like to do some racing eventually 5k maybe.

    Last week
    Mon-Fri
    morning walk 3.5k
    evening run 3.5k/T25:15/Pkm7:50
    Sat/Sun rest

    Next week
    morning run 3.5k Pkm 9:48-10:25
    evening run 3.5k Pkm 10:25-10:44
    (I'm going to change my rest days to Mon/Fri)

    Well that was short lived,
    I should of took more notice of the knee pain when going down stairs and shouldn't of run on it, I thought it was just stiffness now its really painful to walk, bend down etc. so I'm going to have to stay off my feet and let it heal as much as possible, got the voltarol, knee support and the glucasamine I'm hoping a couple of days and then start strengthening exercises and a bit of walking.

    Finally mostly pain free now enough to start the strengthening exercises,
    Still taking the glucosamine don't need the volterol anymore took a lot longer to heal than I thought it would gonna build up slowly this time.
    I'm using some of the exercises in this video
