Pain after first time doing C25K?

a month ago i tried doing that program. i had all sorts of problems. my knees and shins hurt so bad that i had to stop. i was never a runner and never did any sports that i had to do so. i gave myself a week to recover and decided to slow it down and work at it. so i started taking my dog for walks at the park where there is more hills. and when i would go to the gym i would walk and increase the incline more and more. i cant do much. but i can walk over 30 minutes without any pain at all. i did not have to ice anything or buy any fancy shoes. i can walk on a treadmill with the incline up to 6-8 when im up to it. today i finally let go of the training wheels on the treadmill at the gym and can jog at a 5.5. i only did it 5 minutes. but no pain at all.

i weigh a whole lot more. im currently at 210. but if you can learn anything from me. maybe you just need to build up your legs to running. run when your up to it. walk and increase the inclines when you have pain. but dont push it. if you push though the pain you can further hurt yourself and make it worse. i did that my first week and it set me back from other activities. but i do notice the more i try, the better im getting.

I joined a run club in my town and the one thing that they stressed is dont worry about your time (just yet). You have to work on your breathing and form, pace will come later. Before the run club i was too focused on pace and trying my hardest to run over a 5 on the treadmill. Right now, I am super satisified with a 12-12:21 pace because, I a not a full fledge runner, but i'm getting there. It will improve with time! Also - i was in pain too the first few times I've ran, because well, I never ran before. Just try not to do too much too soon. Build up to it! For the run club i am in - iti s for a 10k. so each week we tack on 10-20% from the week before. or kind of like .50 of a mile. Right now we are at 5miles! Good luck and be safe !
