Are you planning on doing another 5k, or are you just following a plan to get back into it? I’ve thought about doing another run myself; last one was a half in 2019 and then the world shut down lol.
Congrats on your progress so far!

I’m just following a plan to get back to 5 k.
3 days in a week and for 16 weeks
Slowly, but I hope I succeed with both knees still happy.

Manchester marathon today. Sore hamstring stopped me getting a PB but very pleased with 4:45:53. That’s over an hour quicker than I was 2 years ago when I was still drinking.
17 months sober today.

Yeah the hamstring tugging held me back but it was exciting. And with 32,000 runners and 100,000 spectators the atmosphere was brilliant too.

Yes it’s massive. And as it’s really hard to get a place in the London Marathon- next weekend- the one in my own back yard is a very suitable alternative

I feel pretty good. A little nauseous today but I often have that problem. Trying to hydrate properly and rest but I’m rubbish at resting.
The hamstring and hip are ok as long as I don’t run! Won’t be doing that for a week.
Removing the nipple plasters from my hairy chest wasn’t fun!! The toe plasters just came off to reveal at least 3 nails that won’t be with me long and some blisters. But the strapping kept them from hurting while running.
So all in all I’m in good shape and nothing I didn’t expect from previous marathons.

This was hard but in a good way. My legs felt strong and I had a beautiful cloudy sky to look at
@SoberWalker A lot of knee pain comes from the surrounding muscles and ligaments not being very strong. Strength work is our friend. Are you using the same shoes you used when walking? You may need new shoes. Old shoes can cause shin and knee pain
