What to do while dealing with runners knee (lemmy.one)

Basically, I took on too many miles too quick. And boom knee pain even when walking now. I don't want to stop moving entirely, but I'm just not sure what I should be during this downtime. I'm pretty new to running so only been doing it for about 2 weeks and I'm a little heavier, so it probably beat my legs up. But I love running and don't want to give it up.

Yeah I got an appointment here in an hour or so. Also no program, I just went into it blind. And I listened to my body, ran only when I felt good physically. Just monday went for a nice easy 3mi and halfway through my knee just lit up with pain. Also no ego actually, just got ahead of myself and fell in love with running and took it too far too quick. Now here I am looking for alternatives while I heal

Don’t worry, pretty much every runner I know has gotten some sort of minor injury in the beginning due to starting with too much too early.
