Running distance over time. I still can't run 5k without walking about 20% of the way.

And it's not going fast either, but I'm still proud of the progress. The data is keeping me going.

EDIT: Thanks for the support! The legs still don't want to do, what I want them to. But they will learn, who's the boss eventually.

I did a lot of lower body work before starting up (various weighted squats, etc) and I think it has helped. My shins are still on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ especially for the first few minutes, but after a while you go a bit numb to it.

Are you able to get into physio? They could take a whole holistic look at your knee pain and come up with a plan
