What to do while dealing with runners knee (lemmy.one)

Basically, I took on too many miles too quick. And boom knee pain even when walking now. I don't want to stop moving entirely, but I'm just not sure what I should be during this downtime. I'm pretty new to running so only been doing it for about 2 weeks and I'm a little heavier, so it probably beat my legs up. But I love running and don't want to give it up.

Oh yeah definitely. I usually run/walk. I try not to jog, because of how hard the impact is on my knees. When I did interval running(sprint for so long, then walk for so long) I never hurt this bad. And because my running doesn't make me hit the pavement as hard I never had issues. It was when I went to jogging that everything hurt. But I'm definitely gonna do some walking lightly to stretch and keep things moving.
