    +1 to slowly conditioning. I did not slowly condition and now I have arthritis.

        Yes, your body needs to get used to running slowly. Basically I said one day, “I can run a marathon,” without any real preparation beside just running a lot. I actually didn’t have any chronic pain until after I ran it and then quit running lol

      Could you elaborate? How did you ‘incorrectly’ condition. Was it because you took too long breaks in between or did you overexert yourself.

        It’s pretty easy to run beyond the point of injury due to adrenaline, etc. I fucked up the joints in my feet without realizing I was doing it, and the chronic pain came long after I actually caused the injury.
