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.

Just got back dr says nothing for 2 weeks, no running, no cycling. So I'm at a loss right now. I might try and do some very easy walking just to keep blood flowing. I don't want to just sit and do nothing all day every day.

I would recommend sitting on your ass until there’s no pain. Or at least very little. I’m stubborn as shit and I’ve tried to “just do a little” enough times to know.
