C25K - my knees!

I have started C25k again. Last did it about 6 years ago when I got to the full 30 minutes once, then two days later got a terrible stitch and stopped. Soon after I was pregnant and got distracted and it's taken till now to go back.

So at age nearly 42 I have just done W3D2 and the actual running bit is fine. I definitely feel fitter already since starting and the length of running is all good. But oh god my knees. They ache when I walk, all the time now, and they hurt with the first few seconds of each run. But then they are fine till I slow to walking again.

I have good quality trainers, following Laura's advice about landing heel first. I just don't know if I should keep pushing through and risk injury if it's just something that will get better or rest for a few days and have to repeat a week.

Any advice from the more experienced?

Just done W4D1 and hardly any pain. Ended a bit further away from home so had a longer walk back through a lovely field at sunset with church Bell ringing practice in the background. Feeling pretty good right now!
