Thought I’d be good to play soccer today but my hamstring is still tweaking

At least I can ride my bike around

I need to cop some new workout gear as well.

I see brand new ones going for about 1200 most places so that seems like a steal

I would say pain definitely will come when you start running all over your body

But you gotta be careful with knee pain especially you don’t wanna worsen it so I’d make sure your stretching and resting and take a good 2 days off in between runs

Get some proper trainers and don’t let your heels hit the ground first when u run.

If you experience pain even as a beginner something is wrong with your form or you have bad running sneakers.

When I started I was sore but not in pain. Do stretch after running and not before. Dynamic warm-ups are best.

Haven't touched a treadmill in like 2 years lol...

I'm gonna try to vary the speeds and get at least 30 minutes...

I be 42 next month, Old Iron Warrior have to warm up my rotator cuff and stretch for 10 minutes before I do chest, arms and delt workout

And stretch for 10 minutes before I Squat before I do my warm-up reps, the days of going to the gym and hitting warm up reps then start hitting is over

Same. I don't even touch a weight anymore without at least 20-30 minutes of foam rolling, stretching, and light accessory work to get the muscles warm.

I've started treating back days like extra leg days too, in terms of warming up. Try doing deadlifts, rack pulls or rows if your hamstrings are too tight.

Did my half marathon soaking in the freezing rain

I was actually doing pretty good for the first 11 miles. The problem is, I didn't realize I still had over 2 miles to go and I started to run hard until I got burned out. At least I finished running instead of walking, though.
