Anyone else running with both hips replaced or has ran a half marathon?
I have lost 92 #'s I need to get down to 150. I am a Beachbody coach and I am doing 22 Minite Hard Corp and running short distances. I just wondered about someone who has done w hip replacements and what I am in for? I am doing it for St.Jude so no turning back now.
Thanks in advance.

Training for a half can be done in a couple of months. (I've done 10 of them and a member of Half Fanatics) One nice thing about any race is you can always walk if needed! Just start small and easy. Maybe even start off walking. If it hurts, stop!

Congrats on your weight loss! Such a great accomplishment!

Is it normal to be able to run with a joint replacement? I ask because I am 35 and having my knee replaced on June 13th. I miss running more than anything, but haven't been able to in about a year. I would love to be able to do it again...I would even settle for short distances, like a mile to warmup.
