Hi Nina Sakura,

I think it’s great that you’ve consulted a doctor before starting. I used to run without talking to a doctor. That was a mistake. But not because of the knees. I thought with the expensive, correct shoes I would not have any problems, but after two years my right leg got messed up gradually and the problem was that I was placing my foot on the ground in the wrong way and apparently didn’t have the shoes to correct this. And also I was told that running is actually not for everyone and some people (like me) can have more health benefits from walking. I was skeptical at first, since, as Anita said above, walking seemed like something older people would do. But it is indeed not less beneficial than running and I’ve also combined it with swimming and cycling to have some diversity.
So anyway, I hope you have correct shoes and you have consulted someone (theoretically people working in the shop should be able to help you) about how your feet are behaving when you run. Because a noticeable injury can occur after years and it’s hard to correct it then.

All best
