Hey all, I am a 40 year old male, who has abused his body for too long. I am 350 lbs and am signed up to do a 5k in January in Walt Disney World.
I have been walking about every other day since july or so, with taking about 2 weeks off due to spraining my ankle. I am averaging about 3 miles a walk averaging about 19 min a mile.
I have a few questions for anyone who cares to respond.
When I start my walk for the first 1/2 mile or so, i have a pain in my right side what just seems to go away. any ideas?
Does anyone have any good stretches for before and after? I googled a few but I think as I get further along with distance and time, I find my calfs and shins starting to hurt.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
