[quote=Anonymous]My knees used to always used to give me trouble when I ran, to the point that I saw a physical therapist. When I was in a similar place as you (ready to start getting back in shape after two pregnancies) I did two things that made a huge difference - got fitted for a really good pair of running shoes and was zealous about not overdoing things too early. The couch to 5K program is great for easing you into running. After that, I followed the rule of not increasing my weekly mileage (overall for the week or the max for any given run) by more than 10%. I haven't had any problems with my knees in the 3 years since I started running again, with the exception of a couple of times when I did long or strenous runs after a break from running (I'm guilty of doing this last night!). In those cases though, it wasn't a big deal - just a reminder to take it slow until I am 'back up to speed'.[/quote]
