well done Julie! working with Brodie and seeing other people's success stories, tell me that there is always hope to come back to run pain free. all you need is: a) trust the process, b) be patient with yourself and c) stick to the plan :)

I’m so grateful for your content! I shared Julie’s fear and hesitation last month when I experienced sharp pain on my left knee. I found your videos and learned so much! I’ve learned to identify when my knee hurts; is it pain or is it “awareness” of the sensitive area. I thought I had to fully recover before attempting to run again. But I took a chance and followed your tips/plan and I was able to finish my duathlon pain free last week! Thank you so much!

That’s amazing to hear Jackie! Congrats on your duathlon 👏 I really appreciate your kind words

[@wendycooper5924]

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your podcasts and videos are so helpful. I also listened to your book in audible and it became my bible of running. Everything regarding load, capacity and injury all made sense. I share your videos etc with my friends

What if Julie wasn't pain free when doing phase one and the exercises? I have tried to do a bit of running and walking but still get pain in both knees also some exercises can bring on the pain as well.

Good question, you'll need to find a new starting point. That could be walking, hill walking, lighter exercises etc. Try to find what falls within acceptable limits. I have a playlist on my channel page on how to overcome injuries you'll find really helpful.
