Imnotfatimfluffy Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Second run ever... for someone who is overweight and a smoker I think I'm doing quite well...! Felt I was going to pass out at some point but I survived, pushed through, and every time I finish my workout I feel great... so yeah... guess that's about it for now... although my calves hurt from time to time, hope that's normal! Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyk Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm just re-starting the program after finishing my first 5K (im working on increasing speed...because I was slow like a turtle, but I'm blaming that on the torrential rain) on sunday...when I first started, my knees hurt like hell...partially from my poor choice of running shoes and partially from my knees being angry at having to pull my big self around I guess. It gets better, or at least it did for me. Hang in there. You got this! Imnotfatimfluffy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imnotfatimfluffy Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Thank you so much what shoes would you recommend ? Maybe that would help! I hope it gets better soon, I keep running out of air but I guess that's ok for someone like me, who has stayed away from cardio her entire life lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyk Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 You're welcome! I went to a running store and had the dude fit my feet, because over-probation was causing my knee pain. Ended up with Saucony's. They are so much better than what I had! Most running stores will do fittings for free, and the shoe prices are comparable to what you'd pay at a sporting goods store. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
