I have gained back 20lbs of the 80lbs that I’ve lost. I started running again, and my knees started to hurt badly. Well, that added 20lbs does not help, so I decided to put my…

Brooks Runners
Firstly, I aspire to be a runner. Currently I carry too much weight and in an aging body I am overly cautious about joint damage. I danced and played soccer ⚽️ all my youth, went back to play a season around age 45 at my heaviest weight because if I couldn’t move for something I loved I might as well be dead. I lived…

Heart rate monitor for overweight folks?
Hi there! I’m trying to choose a HRM, and my instinct is that I’d find an arm band more comfortable, but it seems like chest monitors are more accurate. My hesitancy with a chest monitor is that I have lots of back fat and belly fat, and I’m worried it would shift around/not fit on me. I’m female and wear a sports bra, and…

Running Help (Pace)
Can anyone share some strategies to change my basic running pace? I did exclusively distance for a while, and now I find myself falling into a slow pace I could keep up for hours every time I quit actively concentrating on pace. Current cadence tends to stay 165ish, so I know that could stand to come up some. Any tips?

I can provide a safe, secure, comfortable environment to any males/females that avoid running because of unknown dangers. I’m a former combat Marine,…

Do you run slow? Then you might be doing it right!
I know some people eschew running because of its impact on the body, especially knees and hips. I have friends that tell me I shouldn't do it because I will inevitably get injured. To be honest, I got out of the habit at some point and will get back into it. I have never been a fast runner. Well, my last two or three years…
