How bad is the pain? My advice is normally don’t judge a run until at least 10 mins. Reason being our body can take a while to wake up. So you might find pain in that first 10 mins can sometimes subside. But that said if the pain gets progressively worse in the first 10 mins then definitely stop. But I understand your frustrations right now. What I have done myself and with other runners on my team who have had injuries is introduce cross training. I wasn’t able to run for more than 10 mins due to knee pain but found I could do 60 mins on the elliptical or bike, so whilst I was recovering I was still able to maintain my base level of fitness. Then slowly but surely, increased my running and now lucky enough to be back up to half marathon distance, although it has been quite a long recovery. Happy to chat if you have questions though.
