Bfab Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Hi, i have "walked" 5 - 5k's this year but would like to run them. I'm scared that I will hurt myself more. I'm doing my first 5k obstacle course at the end of January. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob129 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 I would work closely with your doctor and physical theraptist on how to ease into the running. They should be able to get set up with the best shoes, analyze your flexibility and get you set up on a program to prevent injury.

Dz9rmama3@gmail.com Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Take it slow and definitely make sure you have the right equipment. I started running at 38 and it's the best thing I ever did. At first, I had knee pain, swollen knees and ankle pain but I stuck with it and have never been sorry. Don't focus on how fast you ar, just congratulate yourself for getting it done! Also...music helps. Make a playlist of your favorite upbeat songs and let it motivate you.
