[QUOTE="xmikex:1191655"][QUOTE="SLAG:1191639"]My advice, don't start running. Terrible for you. Feet and Knees will never be the same. [/QUOTE] Yeah... just like Jerry Rice. What a cripple that guy was. Rev, the first step is a decent pair of running shoes. There are a million websites out there to help you figure out what arch type you have, and I think Zappos has a guide as well. The second biggest tip I can give you is to be very mindful of your mechanics when you're first starting out. Just going out and stomping on the pavement like most people do is going to result in shin splits, and knee pain in the short term and an overall distaste for running in the long term. Dorsiflexion is important for your overall health, endurance, and speed. The biggest killer of all when it comes to running is the fact that running sucks, and no one ever wants to do it. So make it as un-obnoxious as possible. Set attainable goals for yourself at first. Start with a simple mile or half mile for your first few runs. Set a time table to double that. Don't worry about time. Get the endurance under your belt and the time will come. Know your routes. Find alternate routes that are maybe shorter but involve more hills. Run in intervals sometimes (60 second sprints, 60 second rests or sprint to a landmark then jog to another landmark). I'll do highstep knees sometimes across crosswalks just to keep my mind engaged. Pick some music that makes you want to run. You'd be surprised what works. I was doing a couple miles a night until I started listening to old school reggae. Now I do 6 miles. And warm up before you warm up. Don't stretch cold muscles. Stretch your hips especially. Loose hips will lengthen your runs. [/QUOTE]
