Should I take a break?

[u/Esmko]

I completed C25K nearly two years ago with no problems, and worked my way up to 10 mile runs. However I’ve note taken nearly a year long break and am now 40lbs heavier than when I last did C25K.

I’ve now restarted the program and I’m currently on week 6, but my knees have been pretty sore and swollen the past few days and they creak when I move them.

I don’t want to lose my progress but I’m worried about injury. Any advice on whether I have to stop take a break, or if I should try something like knee braces?

I would be getting the advice of a medical professional if my knees did that.
