Q: Pain From Running

asked by: JacobRyan on December 14th, 2007

I just started running after 3 months of being a couch potato and I'm noticing pain that I haven't felt before. I am only hitting 2 miles for a start, but I've been going out in cold weather, about 40 degrees or so. I can take the cold well, and I can't remember having pain like this going longer distances in lower temperatures. Since I started (and I mean back about a year ago) I only wore running shorts and a t-shirt, despite temperature.

But now when I run I am getting aches in my ears, chest pains like never before, and a soare throat. Is this a reaction to running or am I just daft for going out in the cold?

Also, would anyone have a suggested running schedule for getting back into shape?

Hhhhmmmm

Well, if its 40 degrees or so, I would be running in a sweatshirt and long pants. 2 miles seems like a lot to start with, that may be it too. Have you done running or a sport that involves running before or is this ur first time?

I ran track and cross country (practices) the previous school year and some running over the summer. I refused to compete though, so I never really pushed myself, mostly just leisurely running. I have hit much further than 2 miles though. I think I may just be stupid for going out in the cold.

Oh, so 2 miles isn't anything new for you. Well, maybe you are just running with inadequate clothing for the cold.
