So I’ve been running like a mile each day for 3 days out of the week. But I’ve laid it off since I’ve been getting a lot of plantar fascitis, knee pain, and pain around my shins.

I’m not even that old. I’m very confused, maybe there are some exercises I can do? Went to a running shoe store and they recommended me some more cushioning shoes like a glycerin gts 22.

Any tips, recommendations, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated.

    I’m a bit overweight for my size. Didn’t know it was possible to overextend stride but there are stretches in my run when I try to sprint, that could be it. I don’t think I have lots of vertical lift, just enough to actually run.

        In high school I wasn’t extremely active or anything, but I was able to run the weekly mile with no problems. Fast forward only a couple of years until now, I’m experiencing these pains. I feel embarrassed having these issues at such a young age.
