So, I'm not exactly following the C25K program. My trainer has me doing a different kind of interval program for running...same theory, though. I'm on week 2. When I finished Monday, I felt almost immediate pain in both knees. Severe pain. I took today off but have to go tomorrow because it's a training day with her. My knees still hurt so badly! It's really a little below my knee. Obviously I know it's tough on my knees because they're carrying all this extra weight, but I've not been having this pain after running. I don't want to whine about it and her think I'm trying to get out of my workout, but I can't do anything that will cause me to be off my feet for a while either...not with 3 2-year olds to keep up with.
Is this a pain that I should expect and just work through because I'm a new...and large...runner?
I was really feeling like I was on a roll. Now I'm frustrated!
