As flyonthewall said, she has excellent advise. I have been running for 3 years and I had just completed a marathon but was VERY ill while running it. As far as I am concerned it should not matter how fast you are running what matters is you doing it. Am 8-8:30 pace is rather fast for a beginer unless you just have it in your genes. Check out Jeff Galloway he does the walk/run program and it is considered an ijury free program. Just start out slow and work your way but only run as you feel comfortable. Good luck.
WTF??? The above post was written by me. How did Null's name get on it??
I was searching for it so I could the fact, that I couldn't even run a mile now, much less a 5 min mile!! As a matter of fact, the fastest ile I ever ran was 5:12. I ran a 5K in 18:30 though which was pretty decent!
