I have started running again after an eternity. started with 5km in 30 min. last week I did 2x 5km in 60 minutes with a 10 minute rest in between. now a week later my knees and ankles still are sore and start to hurt after running more than 10 minutes. are my cross legs fricking me up for good?

    This usually happens if you don't wait long enough between the runs, or if you run on an incline

      This.
      I know it sucks, starting all over again.
      Just take it slow. Run only each third / second day. Once you ll get used to it, go for a short run everyday. And I would suggest only then start increasing the distance/time to 45 min and then hour.
      At that point if it hurts, just soldier on. Once the body understands, you ain gonna stop, the pain goes away after 15 minutes or so.

    i grew up with legs like yours untill i actually put in an autistic amount of time and focus to learn how to walk and run with perfect technique.
    my legs got straighter, not entirely fixed but no pain whatsoever and i love running now.
    here's what i did in order, hope some of it helps
    >barefoot
    >watch best nfl players and olympic sprinters like a hawk and try to mimic movement patterns
    >learn about proper biomechs and contralateral reciprocation
    hint: if your lats, shoulders, abs and chest are not working when you sprint then you're doing it wrong
    >knee over toes guy
    >vmo maxxing
    backward walking uphill
    backward sleds
    atg split squats
    >nordic curls
    >tibialis raises
    the main thing is to research and look what athletes have the best knees after they retire, go slow, regress to no pain levels and build up from there and be obsessed with good form.
    start here and have fun

            the barefoot running, the pointless bizarre exercises, anything that kneesovertoes charlatan sells.

            Running is not hard. Avoiding injury is not hard. Getting fast is not hard either. Just go slow (slower than you think) and progress gradually (again, slower than you think). If anything starts to hurt, stop and rest immediately. Don't try to power through shit.

              that's pretty tame but whatever
              >barefoot running
              worked for me, how does strenghtening your feet doesn't help your knees, cm'on man
              >pointless bizarre exercises
              split squats and backward walking are not bizarre at all lmao they do them in athletics all the time
              >kneesovertoes
              just take what you want from it, he does stuff right here and there and is good to watch for form examples, don't be a sperg about it.
              i agree he's extremely cringe tho, the only things i would point out would be tibialis raises and atg split squats, that's all you need from him
              >Running is not hard
              if one doesn't grow up doing it i assure you people cannot run for shit, it's not supposed to destroy your knees but almost everyone has problems with running, shins, feet, knees, those are all bad technique problems
              >Just go slow (slower than you think) and progress gradually (again, slower than you think). If anything starts to hurt, stop and rest immediately. Don't try to power through shit.
              completely agree

              Basically 100% this. Use your common sense. If someone is trying to sell you really hard on something that doesn't seem normal, it's probably a grift. (Anyone remember how those toe-shoe looking things disappeared after they got sued to frick for making false claims?)

              This, definitely on the slow-running part. My wife is currently training for a half-marathon (she's never run any race longer than a 10k) and one of the major challenges for her is how slow it's asking her to run. Running a 10 minute mile is pretty hard when you're used to doing 8's. Build up speed slowly.

        only if you're either disgenic enough to need all that or not able to implement those things even as supplementary work, most of that i did in a heartbeat and the only big thing was learning how to move correctly because i had a slight case of knocked knees.
        the stuff i listed is just a scaled up version of what a physio (broscience i know) would have you do if you had problems anyway, so strenghtening those areas for someone who needs it more BEFORE they frick themselves up only makes sense.
        at the end everything in lifting and fitness in general is to be able to understand stuff on your own, if you don't have an instinct for it or put in the time to study all that injuries are inevitable.
        99% of this board has some pains and injuries of some kind because they just jumped into heavy and moronic lifts like morons for years and eat like shit because they thought that was the key to get their dicks wet anyway.

    Run 3 times a week for 2 weeks
    Take 3rd week off
    4th week 3x
    After that you can start increasing your distance or time.

    Every time I restart running, I always take it ridiculously easy the first month. No need to push it up front, just going to get injured and that'll be that.

    Build up slower. Even if you're fit enough to run 5km, follow a c25k plan. That includes some walking. You'll feel silly doing it, but you won't feel like you're in pain for days afterwards.

    Learn proper running form like other anon said. He failed to mention that for road/track running you need proper footwear. Go to a local running store and have them check your gait and recommend a shoe.

      You have the proper footwear is already installed. It's called skin. Run barefoot. Don't buy into the myth that you need super-cushioned shoes. Those will just reinforce bad habits and lead to further injuries down the road.
      >B-b-but the pros wear shoes
      Yes, anon, they do. They are paid to. Those shoes also have a carbon leaf-spring in them to make them run faster and win races. Until your income depends on shoes, you don't need them.

        >super cushion shoes!! Reinforcing bad habits!!
        Thats why you get shoes that help correct your habits.. also never said super cushioned shoes are required.
        >b-b-b pros wear shoes
        Also didnt say that, but yea they wear them because they arent moronic. They arent even expensive, and its worth it to protect your feet and knees. When im running all my life and you arent I guess we will know why.

          If you're a heel-striker and you wear shoes that absorb the impact from heel-striking, how would you ever learn to stop heel striking? Hmmm?

            >heel striker
            no such thing, it all depends on the gait, terrain and speed you're going at, you can't for example sprint and heel strike.
            you don't know what you're talking about.

    What do you mean by cross legs? Mine look exactly like this. Is it not normal? I'm a keen cyclist, but running always feels completely fricked up to me.

    Slow down, lower your run length/time until you adapt, and learn forefoot running if you don't already do it
