Hi,

I am Sam. 220 lbs (100kg) and 5feet 11inch in height.
I have been running 1 mile in 15 minutes since
past 2 months on a daily basis till now. Also go for an
hour long walk 2/3 times a week.

Started having pain in the lower back.It happens whenever I get up from
a sitting position. And pain in the knees while running.

Please tell me the quikest way to loose substantial weight, increase
running stamina and to get rid of these pains.

Sam.

Run more. One hour a day minimum. Buy good shoes, never buy nikes (the cause of
your knee pain, even if you don't wear them).

Thanks for your suggestion. By "nikes" do you mean the shoes bought from
the company "Nike" ? I do actually have Nike shoes.

If you're 5'1" and 220 I would pass on the running and simply work
yourself up to walking an hour 5-7 days a week.

I can't speak to the back pains but would make sure you have good shoes
on your feet and contrary to Willie the Winker, Nike makes good shoes.
Remember walking burns just as many calories as running so avoid the
impact and walk more and cut you calorie intake. It will take some time
to get the extra weight off but it will come off. make sure your walking
with a straight back and not bent at the waist, bad form will aggravate
your back.

In general ignore Willie the troll. He is 99% BS and not worth reading
for the 1% that oozies from the cracks.

You can't be Sam; there is already a Sam here. I'll call you Sam2.

Sounds like a good program IMHO.

This is a great way to meet the other Sam. It's *lose* weight and this seems
to be his pet peeve. The quickest way to lose weight is to stop eating and
spend all your waking hours exercising. But I wouldn't recommend it. I've
lost 15 pounds in the last 4 months by watching what I eat (more vegetables,
fewer bacon cheeseburgers) and running to/from work 4 days a week. I have
lost weight faster in the past, but now I am focusing on a diet/exercise
plan I can stick with for life. And I am enjoying the process.

Keep running. Have you noticed your workouts getting easier or faster over
the last 2 months? Over time you will should be able to increase the
time/distance ran. Losing weight will help with this as well.

and to get rid of these pains.

First, the knee pain: make sure you are running in the appropriate running
shoes for you. If you have a specialty running store near by this is the
best place to find good shoes and--more importantly--good, knowledgable
service. You may may need to take a rest day between your running days. You
can stay active on these days by walking, cycling, or some other lower
impact exercise once your back pain has diminished.

Next, the back pain: this may also improve with rest between running days,
preferably total rest. My guess is your legs are fatigued from running and
you are compensating by using your lower back more when standing. The pain
should diminish as you lose weight and get stronger. When the pain is gone,
you might consider adding a basic weight training program to your exercise
routine.

Best of luck, Sam2!

Yes, all nikes are garbage designer shoes, not real running gear. I suspected
nikes were the cause of your problem. Buy Asics 2090's, and problem solved.The
few brands nike makes that are respectable are overpriced. Add $40 onto each
shoe for advertising. If that doesn't bother you, there's the fact that they
cause more injurys than all other brands combined. So buy Asics, or any brand,
just don't buy nikes.
Cheers!

The very few good models they do make, are overpriced. Why pay so much when you
can get more shoe for far less money? That's my biggest problem with nike.

Pure [censored]. Walking 6 miles will not do the same as running 6 miles.

The only thing oozing from cracks is Dougs boyfriends love-juice thats

This is absolute horseshit, and the poster is a horse's ass. I've been
running and racing for 15 yrs in Nike shoes and I've never had an
injury that had anything to do with the shoes.
