There's a qualitative difference between pain that's making an injury worse and pain that will go away if you can manage to ignore it. It's just different. Sorry that I can't explain it any better, except to say you'll know it when you have it.

To force consistency, I run every day - My running streak is at 390 days today and maintaining that (as in not breaking it) is the consistency strategy that has worked for me. There's even an organization of people like me - runeveryday.com. I have run through innumerable aches and pains. Most of the time, it's ok. Keep running. You'll know when to stop.

Unless you really don't know what you're doing and run without schedule and training plan. Have observed it several times among female teenagers exposed to too much social media.
