Hey sherbros. I have a question for you guys today.
I'm almost 34 and in pretty decent shape. I lift weights at home and bike a lot outside (about 4/5 hours at week)
A few months ago I decided to go for a run and did about about 8km (5 miles) and I was kind of spent after it.
Cardio wise I think I could have continued for a long time after but my joints (specially knees) were killing me. It took me about 2/3 days to fully recover.
I'm pretty light (about 135/140lbs) so it's not a matter of me putting a lot of weight on my joints and I was wearing brand new running shoes (I always use them because they are more comfortable).
I never had any serious injury but my body has some wear and tear after many years of kickboxing and muay thai. I can squat and do all kind of leg excercises without problems tho.
My question is.. Am I completely ruined for running or can I start running less and maybe my joints will get used to?
Kind of wanted to do a short thriatlon somewhere down the line (which would require to improve my swimming too when they open the pools again) but I think this might take me out of that.
