      Just started running this year and this last week I did 25 miles including 3 10ks. It feels impossible but if you just stick with it your body adapts so quickly

        How old are you? I used to run a lot when I was younger and have always wanted to get back into it but my ankles and knees scream at me for thinking about it these days. To much running on concrete probably. Lots of basketball on concrete as well. I’m only 5’11 but I used to be able to dunk which seems great when your young, but I overlooked how many times I’d be slapping back boards and landing all my weight on them coming down. I probably just need to shed 30lbs from diet and work into jogging after.

      It takes so long to get into the shape to fully run the 10k straight. 2 - 5k is a good sweet spot though.
