This is one of the best fitness pieces I have ever read. Seriously, you broke it down in a way that even a newbie like me can easily understand! What's even weirder? I can now see myself *shudder* becoming a runner!! Yikes! Of course, I'm about 60 lbs overweight, but that's why I'm here, right?
Again, excellent post. You have a brilliant way with words.0 -
Thank-you for all of this information. I am currently dealing with plantar fasciitis and big boob syndrome. I have ordered some new bras, and have some great ideas to work on the feet.0

Can you be too overweight to run safely? I am 40 lbs overweight with a slight knee issue yet since dropping 10 lbs already that last time I ran on the treadmill I had no pain. I am 49 and just don't want to injure myself. Should I wait until I lose more?0

I'm about 60 lbs overweight (number completely arbitrary - that's how much I have to lose to match what my driver's license says) and I just make sure to stretch before and after and not push things too hard - if it hurts I stop until it doesn't anymore and maybe ice my knees down for a while.
At the moment I'm averaging about 3.5 mph which is crazy slow but I can jog steadily for 3 miles on the treadmill and a little over a mile and a half on the evil hills in my town, whereas earlier this spring I could manage maybe 3 minutes before I had to stop and walk. The number on the scale hasn't dropped as much as I would have thought, but the inches sure have come off.0
