Болят колени. Надо ли дальше бегать или нет?

Hello Tatiana!

Since you are a former athlete, your mind is focused on results. Such consciousness leads to results, since it is prone to stress, but does not lead to recovery, and this is initially incorrect thinking. Therefore, you need to reduce the amount of running time now. Up to 1 hour will be fine for you. Jogging once a week and non-stop, calm walking once a week. Walk and run in this mode for four months.

For now, postpone jogging until the knee pain subsides. Leave only walks. In the future, resume jogging. It is normal that due to such a heavy load, inflammatory processes have started in the knees. You got to the sore and began to transfer it to the active phase, after which this sore begins to be treated. But you started doing it too zealously. Then, after 4 months of such loads, you can gradually increase your jogging time, adding 15 minutes each.

I would also recommend that after jogging or walking, lie in the bath for 10 minutes, if you have such an opportunity. This relaxes the body, and the effects of stress on the body are more easily tolerated. You can add oiling, this will also relax the body after exercise.
