I started 'running' this summer. Only a couple of miles, not fast, initially flat canal towpath but now its too squishy and cold, somewhat non-flat pavement. I feel a lot fitter for it but I'm getting pain in one of my hip joints. I love walking so I don't want to bugger up my joints!
So... do I need to:
a) get new shoes
b) get advice on gait
c) lose weight (overweight, not obese)
d) lose age (51) !!
e) take miracle supplements
f) find a more joint-friendly exercise which provides the same sort of cardio-vascular workout. Walking just doesn't do it; swimming doesn't do it (though I like both - don't get the same intensity and takes longer)
g) any other suggestions?
thanks!
