| 2008-06-28 | Terry | 8 | 8 | 10 | 10 | No | Hi Thanks for the advice, you seem to have hit the nail on the head about my sizes, I am 6.4" and over 300lb, I have made a massive life change and am trying to fulfil a life long ambition, my bone frame is very strong and very large but I do also have a lot of weight to lose, I am seeing a specialist for the training so hopefuly he can help around this. Thanks for the advice but I am very stuborn and unless it puts me in hospital I will find a way around the problem, may be knee supports might help. Terry |

Expertise
First things first: I WILL NOT ASK QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO AN INJURY OR SORE AREA ON YOUR BODY, please seek medical advice from a doctor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or chiropractor. I can answer questions specifically for mile to 5K distances, preferably in regards to HS and recreational runners, since I coach JH/HS age athletes, and train recreationally-based runners (those who simply run for the enjoyment of it, not super-competitive). I am also an expert in doing training with the assistance of a GPS speed & distance monitor, in tracking speeds, paces, and distances for measurements in intensity & volume of your workouts precisely. My main running site is http://endure.speeddialcoach.com
