Last week I was comfortable running 5K barefoot, so I popped it up to 4 miles this week. I ran up a very long and steep hill, then back down it. This about covered the four miles. Now my knees are kind of sore. Is this normal?

Yeah I figured that. If I rested it for a few minutes without movement it would stiffen up. I ran today. I started out walking, ran a quarter mile, then walked an eighth of a mile, then ran ~3 miles.

Thanks for all the help.
