I used to run a few miles a week and want to get back into it, but my knees feel tender after short jogs. What training plan or adjustments can help ease in without flaring things up? I can commit to about 30 minutes & three times a week. Quick background: I've tried a couple things already but keep getting stuck. Thanks in advance.

I stopped working out for a few months and now I feel out of shape. I want to start again without getting sore or quitting in a week. What is a simple plan for the first month that is easy to follow?

My knees make a little crackle on the way down, especially after sitting a while. It doesn't hurt, but it sounds like a snack bar opened under my skin. Is this just air and age, or a sign my form or mobility needs work?

I used to jog 5Ks in my twenties but haven't run in years. I'm heavier now and want to ease back in without wrecking my knees. I can commit about 30 minutes a day, a few days a week, and I don't have a gym membership. What's a smart way to structure the first month? Should I follow a walk-run plan, and how slow is slow enough? Also curious about shoe advice and basic warm-up and recovery so I stay consistent.
