Re: W3R2 Inner knee pain - help!

I had the same problem around the end of week 2 and into week three. My knees were hurting on the lower inner knee area and it would hurt a bit to go down stairs. I rested until they werent sore anymore and then made sure to stretch after running and would ice my knees. My right knee for some reason was much more sore than the left, so I braced it for couple runs. As I moved into the beginning of week 4, they stopped hurting. I have been running fine since and don't need the knee brace or the ice but I do make sure to get in a good stretching session after I run.
When my knees first began hurting I was worried I was going to be sidelined but I think my legs were just adjusting to the high impact of running. Listen to your body and go easy until your knees feel better, and if the pain persists, definitely see a doctor. You don't want to do serious damage to your knees.
