I would run on asphalt a few time times a week, but lately when I try my knee joints feel week. I'm 6'3 160 so I don't think weight is a concern, I'm 21, and wear basic Nike running shoes. Should I get better shoes?

Stop running with bad form.

Run barefoot or with minimal shoes so you're forced to run with a midfoot strike. Landing on your heels is a meme that the shoe companies came up with.

You are going to fast and not resting enough. Also try doing squats (no weights) on rest days.

Look into squats and glute bridges. Also brooks for shoes. If possible go to running shoe store?and have them check you forum for proper shoe.

As my Drill Sgt told me when I mentioned my knees hurting from all the running "Quit being a bitch and run faster", and you know what? His advice worked.

Going to fast maybe, i run only a mile straight I don't think not resting enough is the issue.

I'm glad that the screaming guy with the GED gave you such sound advice about exercise pains.

God damn civilians.

But it's embarrassing to have people watch my run because I get out of breath easily

>run faster
>left with grandpa knees for the rest of your life

Drill Sergeants were not placed into their position because of their intellect.
>>
>>38017345 (OP)
run on grass or the beach when you can. also consider getting custom insoles

>>38021574
they just have you stand on a foot pressure pad, then like 10 seconds of light jogging on a treadmill.

Somewhat related

I haven been to the gym for about three weeks because of a non gym related injury, and I just restarted this week

I worked biceps so hard I can barely extend my arms holy shit.

During resting, do the same movement without weights. Don't push your luck. You tore a muscle and you'll be out for at least a month.

In the Navy as enlisted unfortunately. Wish I would have had the sense to put in 4 years at school to double my earnings.

Aight look nigga

post one is right - heelstriking is a meme.
If you're just running for cardio and not to be sanic, midfoot striking is a meme too.

Forefoot striking will absorb as much shock as possible and negate it before it fucks your knees up. Do it.
