So I’ve been running like a mile each day for 3 days out of the week. But I’ve laid it off since I’ve been getting a lot of plantar fascitis, knee pain, and pain around my shins.
I’m not even that old. I’m very confused, maybe there are some exercises I can do? Went to a running shoe store and they recommended me some more cushioning shoes like a glycerin gts 22.
Any tips, recommendations, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated.
There is an idea that you should be able to walk 4 miles in about an hour before you begin running. This is to make sure that you are fit enough so you don’t end up hurting yourself.
If you want to skip that idea, I had a lot of success with this app. It seems like a simple idea but it really does help. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jupli.run
Also, what is your cadence?
No idea what my cadence is. Maybe I should count next time
Typically taking shorter steps leads to more steps per minute aka cadence. It’s s better for your running form and easier on your body. Most things I have read say 170-180 steps per minute. Some running apps will have a cadence tracker or audible sound to follow.
