MY LEG

have you tried calf raises? those helped me when i started

>>40438699
Maybe focus on just dieting and walking for now, come back to running when you are less heavy. How much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking?

Oh also, how are you running? Are you landing on your heel, the ball of your foot (area connected to your toes), or mid-foot?

>>40438699
You're broke?
Eat less
Your meals will be chicken thighs hamburger eggs potatoes rice broccoli and whatever cheap veg you can afford.
That's it.

No running fat shit. You're too big for it. Basic 3 days a week calisthenics and long walks or swimming will get you where you need to go.

>>40438699
I second the calisthenics, walking, and swimming.

>>40438699
Just eat 500 calories under your TDEE and walk 30-60 minutes a day for now (and by walk I mean actually walk, not a casual pace). Try losing about 10-15 pounds, and then try running again.

I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks. I'm eating at a 500 cal defecit. My last weigh in was at 215lb / 97.5 kg.

I've never been much of a runner, honestly. I run how it just comes natural. Usually landing on the heel but immediately rolling the foot so the weight transfers through to the ball of the foot like a curve.

I can run fine, man. It's just this weird pain.

I eat red kidney beans / pinto , tilapia and salmon, yucca and sweet potatoes and spinach broccoli and cauliflower.

Yeah, I really wish I could swim. I don't have access to a pool or a body of water that isn't a gator infested swamp. I'll look into calisthenics and I guess I'll just go on walks with my neighbor. Thanks for your help!

Am I really that much over the limit? I only weight 215 lb...

Man this is depressing. To think I'd get to a point where I'd have to walk...

>>40439977
Don't worry about it too much man. I had to walk when I was 265 lbs, but after two weeks of good pace walking I was able to start the C25K. Lose a bit of weight and just get used to moving around again, then try running when you feel ready. Perhaps try a run at the end of each week and see what the damage is on your shins before you proceed onto more running. Don't forget to run midfoot, neither on the balls or heels of your feet, but somewhere in the middle.

I would also recommend the Lose It app to track your daily intake and the Google Fit app, which synergizes with Lose It by tracking your steps and showing you how many calories you burned. Get into the habit of weighing yourself every morning when you wake up, because that is when you are at your lightest.

We're all going to make it brah.
It doesn't matter where you start, only where you stop.

Thanks, man. I guess we all gotta crawl before we can walk. I'll walk daily since my neighbors been bugging me about it and she usually has a lot to talk about. I'll get into some kind of calisthenics routine since I haven't lost all my strength gains from my teens.

Just an eye opener, you know? Just glad I caught it sooner than later.

Count your blessings and all that. Don't forget to practice walking mid-foot.

Shouldnt be too heavy to run
Do some strength training on your legs for a bit and toughen those muscles up, might help combat or prevent the pain if the pains source is muscle

I used to think it was DOMS but this isn't like that anymore. It's directly centered at the shin and ankle area, and it's even tender to the touch.
