 Posted: 02/19/06 - 18:48 Post subject: General questions
Im starting to run again after doing nothing for about 3 months while in Physical Therapy for my knees. I run 4-5 miles 3 or 4 times a week but im noticing some strange things. First is that my cardio seems to be just where it was when i quit running, at the end of a 4 mile jog, not fast albeit (9:00/mile), im hardly winded, but anything above 5 miles and my legs just wear out completely.
what can i do to increase the endurance of my legs?
and another strange one is that my forearms have been sore after my runs  that one is completely throwing me off.

Have you had the OK from your Doctor or Physical Therapist to resume training?
