267 - Respect your body needs
I do like running and sometimes I forget the importance of rest. When your knees start to ache, then you've already exceeded your limit. I mean you don't have to wait such a signal to realize that you need to stop and rest. I know, it's hard to accept that your body needs to rest, especially when your legs are apparently ready for a run. But there is a reason why I used the word "apparently". Sometimes it's almost impossible to be able to recognize signals from our body and when we start doing it, it's too late. If your knees hurt, then you must stop, rest and only when you feel 100% going back to your running routine. I'm writing this notebook entry to try convincing myself that this is really the right approach, because if it were for me, I would never rest, but this is extremely wrong.

267 - Respect Your Body's Needs [1] {Main words in titles are capitalized}

- "Body" is not the noun in this title, so "needs" doesn't serve the function of a verb ("respect" as the command is the verb), but a noun (the needs of the body, a body's needs).
- There should be agreement in the tenses of the verbs here: "...stop, rest, go back...". Or if you want to change tenses: "...stop, rest, and only when you feel 100% do you go back..." or "...stop and rest until you feel 100% before going back..."
- Or: "I'm writing...and (in the process) trying to convince..."

FEEDBACK:
You've used the American English version of 'realise' and 'recognise'. It's not incorrect as such, it's spelt differently in the UK so just bear that in mind, especially if you ever visit the UK.
The phrase following the intransitive verb 'wait' is missing a preposition.
The word 'apparently' doesn't sound natural in this notebook. I would say "especially when your legs feel ready to go for a run".
I wouldn't use 'really' or 'extremely' in those sentences either because they sound harsh in tone.
A few occasions of misuse of the comma.
You need to add a comma before a coordinating conjunction 'and' in a compound sentence. Example: I do like running, and sometimes I forget the importance of rest.
"that this is really the right approach, because if it were for me, I would never rest, but this is extremely wrong." - You don't need to use a comma before the word because.
OVERALL: Your level of English is pretty good. You may need a bit more practice with the use of commas and more practice making your language simple (this is something that will come with time).
Other than that, good effort, Tamerlan. Well done!

267 - Respect your body's needs
I do like running, but sometimes I forget the importance of rest. When your knees start to ache, then you've already exceeded your limit. I mean, you don't have to wait for such a signal to feel pain to realize that you need to stop and rest. I know it's hard to accept that your body needs to rest, especially when your legs seem ready for a run. But there's a reason that I used the word "seem". Sometimes it's almost impossible to be able to recognize signals from our own bodies, and when we start noticing, it's too late. If your knees hurt, then you should stop, rest and wait until you feel 100% before going back to your running routine. I'm writing this notebook entry to try to convince myself that this really is the right approach, because if it were up to me, I would never rest, and that's not good.
Notes: In the first sentence, you need the conjunction "but" instead of "and" because the ideas are contrasting. I would remove the word "then" in the second sentence (and one later) because it sounds more natural, and although it's not wrong, per se, it's unnecessary. I contracted "there is" because it fits with the tone of the rest of the paragraph. "Bodies" has to be plural in the phrase "signals from our bodies," and it emphasizes the idea that i's a personal problem a little more if you say "our *own* bodies" so I added the word "own." The phrase "when we start doing it" may be grammatically correct, but it's a little awkward, so I changed it to "noticing." I also changed "must" to "should" because it's more in line with your tone here. There's a way to correctly use the word "only" in your sentence, but it's a little convoluted to get the right structure, so what I think you really want to say is "wait until" and you also need to say "before" or add some other word before "going." The difference between "is really" and "really is" is subtle, but I think most people would say "really is" in this context. For the ending, it's a little awkward to say that it's wrong... I think you mean that it's a problem or not good or not healthy or something like that. There are a lot of different options there, and it just depends on what you really mean or how emphatic you want to be. Great job using "were" in that sentence, by the way... I think that's a difficult one to get right! Overall, this is a great paragraph and conveys your meaning really well with a casual tone.

Just realised I needed to put it under correction, not add a comment.
Please see below my correction.
@Igor - Yes, it is. It's handy for us teachers if we need to explain something and explain it in a simple and easy way.
