Running question.

I've recently (last couple of weeks) started running everyday in the morning just to get myself in better shape, needless to say that my stamina is **** , i cant even run for ten straight minutes without having to stop but i guess thats normal for someone who's starting to run again after years of not doing any of it.

The problem i have is the pain i feel in my upper torso(chest,back,shoulders) for the rest of the day after that morning run, its like i took a beating in that area meanwhile my legs feel fine and i have no pain in the legs and they dont feel tired at all, i would like to ask the experienced runners on this forum shouldnt this happen the other way around with me having sore and tired legs for the rest of the day instead of the upper torso?

Thanks for the help guys.

 

Good tips there.

It shows a lot of things i'm doing wrong and what should i correct.

Will try them next time i go running.

Thanks mate.:good

 

A marathon runner?

I cant even run one mile without stopping mate.

Do you think running everyday is too much for someone who's out of shape and hasnt run in years?

What would you advise?

 

build up gradually if you cant run a mile without stopping i would do a simple walk run programme for a couple of months and eventaully build up to runs without stopping...woudlnt run everyday as well if your nto used to it on hard surfaces, tendons etc wont be used to it and more prone to a stress fracutre would recommend 3-4 times a week a walk jog programme and build from there!

 

Thanks for the advice mate :good

 

no prob pal, try to stay away from roads and get on soft surfaces like grass or trails that sorta thing and defo stay of treadmills worst thing u can do is run on a treadmill plus its boring as **** lol

 

yep machine does alot of work and when running on a treadmill its a very hard surfce and very veyr bd for your achilles and knees espically as well as other joints (aalthough to lesser extent) once or twice a month isnt going to kill you but if you do most of your mileage on it your asking for injury also gives yoiu a very false feel of pace ever tried running 6 min mile pace on a treadmill then do that outside on the tarmack?!

 

yeah boring as **** as well if i ever run on a treadmill (when the weathers been really and iv needed to get my run in for making weight or sumthing i always find myself checking out birds that go passed and playing daft games lol

 

Some are uncalibrated and give you a false impression of your speed.
