After gaining 3 stone I have embarked on a healthier diet and exercise regime. I decided to try C25K even though I've spent my whole life avoiding running as I generally hate it. However, a week in and I'm a little addicted and have signed myself up for a 5k charity run as something to aim for. I do find it really difficult but love that feeling when I can collapse on the sofa at the end.
My body is a bit of a mess following 3 children. I have periodic knee pain, occasional sciatica/bad back and frequent hip joint pain which is often exacerbated by exercise. During my 3rd run my knees began hurting and the pain hasn't stopped. I'm not sure what to do now. Stop running until the pain stops? Find a different exercise? Keep going in the hopes it will improve? I'm a little bit gutted that this might get in the way as I'm quite focussed once I've set myself a goal.
Has anyone got any experience of this or advice about what I can do? TIA .
