I’m about 10 lbs into what I want to be an 80 lb weight loss (250>170, 6’ male). I used to be a pretty avid treadmill runner, so I bit the bullet and bought myself a treadmill to exercise at home. First 2 weeks were hard but going well and over the course of 7 runs I got up to 30 mins straight at 5 mph. Not exactly a marathon but I was pretty pleased considering my current weight and fitness level. Problem came over the last few consecutive runs where I was feeling worse and worse after each one, and finally on Friday after my 4th day in a row running I felt like I really overdid it. Ever since my feet/ankles/legs have felt completely destroyed, and have since been aching terribly day and night. It keeps me up at night and I feel like I can barely walk sometimes. I thought it would go away in a day or 2 but it still feels terrible and feels like it will for more days to come. Plus my whole body feels drained and I can even feel my core ache a bit. I know what typical soreness feels like from working out for the first time in a while and this feels beyond that. I feel like I really overworked them and potentially gave myself a mild injury. It feels so frustrating to have been making such good progress, and spending all the money and effort getting the treadmill for this to happen. Not to mention that I’m going to probably have to not run at all for a while and just walk on it with an incline because I’m so fat. Even though I’m cardiovascularly and mentally fit enough to do the runs. I’m doing my best to stay motivated with my diet but this is a real bummer and I’m in so much physical pain right now. sorry for the rant but I just had to get it off my chest!
TL/DR: Bought a treadmill for home exercise but I absolutely destroyed my feet/ankles/legs in a couple weeks because I found out I’m too fat to even run. In a lot or pain now and feeling discouraged.
