same here. I crap out really fast despite a healthy 22 BMI. Feet get sore, everything hurts, out of breath, pain everywhere. So much for running ability being universally evolutionary innate as some claimed by scientists. It's highly variable, not something everyone can do well.

Anyone who doesn't run much feels that for a long time when they statt. How long have you been at it?

Personally I feel like it started to feel better only when I built some strength in the whole legs and core muscle areas, such that they would all work together to make me move. It's hard to describe. But if I run after sitting a lot when everything is tight and seized up, I'll go back to feeling like a beginner.

This year I will have run half the earths circumference at some point. My feet still get sore, everything hurts, out of breath, pain everywhere. Just takes longer now for that to set in.

But what's your body age?
