[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please, no one take this the wrong way. But the knee pain is probably a function of weight and not due to running being inherently bad for you.  I've found that when I gain any weight at all, my knees hurt running. But when I'm skinny (bmi 19-20) I experience no knee pain.  [/quote]

Why would anyone take that the wrong way? It makes perfect sense. Most people are looking to exercise to lose weight, which is why running is a terrible choice [/quote]

People take any suggestion that a higher weight is suboptimal for certain activities as an attack.  But there is a reason elite runners carefully monitor their weight and it isn't vanity.  [/quote]

I’m coming to that realization if I want to keep running long-term I’m going to have to lose weight. I’m in early 40s and have been regularly running 10 years, but I’ll be honest, it comes with some aches and pains. I recently got down to my goal weight and I can feel the difference. But I’m coming to terms that I may need to lose even more, ugh.[/quote]
