Too many knees?

[FuckedElbow-Muay]

Iv'e done a regime at home where i do 300 knees or more each day on the bag. I wonder if i should keep doing it, or slow down a bit? I hold the bag in a clinch position and lower my feet back to a clinch position for each knee done, i try to keep the technique somewhat correct, but i do it with pretty high intensity, as it is pretty good for cardio. I get a bit carried away sometimes, and smash the bag pretty hard with my knees, usually 150 in a row before a small break.. But i have noticed i feel a bit fucked in my knees sometimes, not injury prone i think, but a bit sore, to the point where it's kind of annoying sometimes. Should i have a rest day for it in between, maybe? My current workload is pretty high for a guy that haven't been in good shape for a long time yet (3 months of hard work ish)

Some friends of my mine says i have to slow down with my workouts so i don't get injured(not fighters) but i feel like i have to work pretty hard to get where i want to, but at the same time i don't want a sudden big injury to slow down my progress..

Thanks!
