Yeah, like many here, I learned the hard way that just because it feels ok to push yourself now, doesn't mean you should.
For myself, I worked out a little system where I would go walk the same trail/route every time. I would start at a slow pace and go a short distance. After a couple days of that (weeks at first), if it felt ok, I would increase either the distance or the pace by a slight amount, and see how it goes, if it felt worse, I would back off to the previous distance/pace.
