Only started running relatively recently so it’s not first thing in the morning but it’s a habit. I needed a way to “warm up” for the day and be physically active.
Aside from the general hype of “it feels great” “healthy” yada yada, it gets to a point where you feel uneasy not running. Like after training my legs, they want to go for a run and be used.
You need to account for having time (sleeping early and getting up early with naps during the day) and slowly conditioning but the most important thing is consistency. Only evaluating based on your previous efforts rather than comparing to others.
Yes, your body needs to get used to running slowly. Basically I said one day, “I can run a marathon,” without any real preparation beside just running a lot. I actually didn’t have any chronic pain until after I ran it and then quit running lol
It’s pretty easy to run beyond the point of injury due to adrenaline, etc. I fucked up the joints in my feet without realizing I was doing it, and the chronic pain came long after I actually caused the injury.

+1 to slowly conditioning. I did not slowly condition and now I have arthritis.
Wtf that can happen?

Could you elaborate? How did you ‘incorrectly’ condition. Was it because you took too long breaks in between or did you overexert yourself.
