Running is hard! Per minute of exercise it burns more calories than cycling or swimming,and it can seem even harder if you haven't done it in over six months- or six years. I had a very athletic friend who would get very frustrated because he could only run 3 blocks before he had to walk. I couldn't figure out why he couldn't run farther given his overall fitness level. Then we went running together. He took off so fast I didn't bother trying to keep up with him. That was the "ahah" moment. Even though your lungs may be fresh remember to start slowly and that will help you to maintain your pace through your warm up and well into your workout. This will also help you injuries such as shin splints and plantar fasciitis.Dr Ridge is a chiropractor at Life Wellness Center in Lakeville, MN.
