Hi all,
Been on and off these forums for, i think, about the last ten years. I still don't have a regular habit due to extreme laziness. Unfortunately this means that I have now hit the big 40 and am 2 stone overweight, I think I have to stop being lazy.
The problem is that i tried to start a couch to 5k program but after I completed the first session I had a huge pain in my right upper butt cheek (for want of a better description} I went for a walk today as I thought i had just started too hard the last time, I was still sore in the same place when i got back. I also noticed that the ouside of my right trainer under the ball of my foot is more worn than the rest. I wear motion control shoes as i have flat feet.
Can anyone help? I am totally ready to get started but don't want to create a major injury.
Thanks in advance
Sharon

Start reaaaaaalllly slowly. Walk a bit as a warm up, then run really slowly, before finishing with a walk to warm down.
Possibly piriformis- look upsome stretches, and try rolling the sore bit on s faom roller or tennis ball.
And consider new shoes - it you're noticing wear it might be time to replace them.
Tricialitt just had a look at piriformis. I thimk i maybe need to do some gentle streching before i go out, normally i just use a walk as a warm up.
Screamapiller i've just been researching the web for new shoes. I have had the ones i've got for abour 4 years, wear them a lot but haven't done much running in them. Daft that i thought they would be ok really.
Faithsdaddy i only have one speed and its mainly slow, really slow. I sometimes grt a little overexcited tho......
