Hi. i'm a relatively new runner. well not new but i'm getting back into the scene. i've been off for nearly 2 or more years.. and when i was on before i never really ran more than 2 miles a day anyway.. i've recently been running every day for about a month. this past week or so i've been doing 3 miles a day adn today i did 3.5 miles and the last mile barefoot (this is something else i'm slowely working towards) What i'm finding is that my legs are what hold me back.. is this normal? i feel like if my legs didnt get as fatigued my resperatory system could do at least 4 miles or maybe more. lately my thighs start to get sore and i get shin splints on the left side of my left leg. basically my legs as a whole just get fatigued.. is this something that relatively new runners experience? i dont appear to have week legs... they look to be relatively strong. should i run though the aches? its usually not severe.. its just fatigue.. will this go away? thanks john

I've found extra cycling , Xtraining, swimming gets those legs sorted without making even more advances in the cardio system. Even now after nearly 2 years of running and lots of injuries I only just feel like my legs match my cardio fitness.

wonder how long we can drag this out? since i'm not really a "runner" i'm not a representative for all runners. but you.. you're a real runner. and this whole gay thing has got to be the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. i sense alot of represed homosexual tendancies here. i'm strangely drawn to this. such a passive aggressive way of being assertive this usenet battle is.. i suppose it makes sense that you're a "runner." what are you running from??

You DO know to whom you are speaking, don't you? >and this whole gay thing has got to be the most ridiculous >thing i've ever heard. i sense alot of represed homosexual tendancies >here. i'm strangely drawn to this. That's how I knew you were gay. Well that, and I did an internet search on you, and it turned up several gay porn sites you visited, regularly. > such a passive aggressive way of >being assertive this usenet battle is.. i suppose it makes sense that >you're a "runner." what are you running from??

ha! can you explain why its an insult? when you were a child playing in the yard did you call what you were doing "running?" i think it is you who is the insult by making running some kind of exclusive activity that only "REAL" runners can participate in.. hope your enjoying your lonely status sucka.

You're more than welcome to join in, but don't be surprised when you are treated as the recreational jogger that you are. You are obviously gay too, so we'll go easy on you.

John, sounds like you have ramped up too fast and your legs are talking to you. Try running two days and then a rest day while holding your mileage. Ten slowly add mileage staying within 5%(10 is usually to much for beginners) rule. Too much, too soon and maybe too fast. -DougF

Your legs get tired while jogging? John is going to freak out when he realizes that his skin gets all wet when he swims too.
