I bought Hoka Clifton 10s yesterday and after my first easy run today, 1k in, I instantly noticed my shins hurting more then ever before. I recently started running and I run in generic cheap nike running shoes that don’t have much cushion (or they have more cushion on the back rather than front).
I’m kind disappointed I was expecting it to feel great first run but it didn’t go that way.
Is it eventually gonna be better or no? Will I ever get used to it or do I need to change the shoes immediately?

I never used to run religiously before but I last month I decided that I want to run a marathon so I got my ass up and I started running 4 times a week. It’s been a month now and I can’t tell if I’m getting better.

I’m increasing my distance every week by 2. I do two easy runs (shorter and longer distance), one tempo and one intervals where I sprint. My longest run was last week, I did 8km/5miles and I kept my heart rate in 145-150 zone.

I’m very slow, my heart rate drifts all the time and no matter how fast or slow I run it’s gonna be all over the place.

I was searching the internet and I realised that it’s called cardiac drift which happens most of the time to the newer runnees due to lack of aerobic capacity.

My question to you is how to improve my overall aerobic capacity apart from increasing milage weekly and also improve heart rate and decrease cardiac drift?

Also can running in the gym affect cardio and endurance gains?

I’m quite new on this topic about pelvic floor and I started researching it a lot more and I have few problems that I’m personally facing but not sure if it’s correlated to pelvic tilt. First one that I noticed is hyper knee extension which as long as I remember never had problem with. It started at some time and I caught my self with knee being back all the way. It only happens when I’m resting in the gym or standing for long period. Is that pelvic floor related is what my question is? Second one is my jaw (mandible) either shifted to one side or my jaw muscle (masseter) being overdeveloped due to my spine not aligning properly, which I though could be due to pelvic floor issues. And it’s not in my head I noticed especially one side of my jaw being bigger on touch while other side I can barely even grab. It’s just making my face look less proportional and it’s not healthy. So knowing that I would love to know if anyone could answer these questions and maybe give their insight on this? What can I do to fix these issues and are these issues correlated to pelvic floor at all?

Hello everyone, I’ve noticed this issue for some time now, maybe 5-6 months ago, where I would be in the gym doing my workout as usual, which is upper lower split, 4 times a week. I do compound lift, like deadlifts, bench, squats etc. I’ve been doing them since I was 15 so I was familiar with the movment and proper technique and I never had any back problem.

But one day after my upper workout, I went to the bar to strech my spine. I jumped and grabbed the bar and hanged for maybe 30seconds. After I let go of the bar I got this sharp pain in my lower back (from L1 to L5) if I can even call it sharp because it felt weird. Immediately after letting go I couldn’t bend or rotate without this weird pain it’s almost like it was taking my breath away everytime I tried to rotate or bend. I just kinda walked slowly to the changing room and went home.

I thought maybe I pulled my back because it happend to me once already, where I couldn’t bend for few days but it got better after sometime of me doing deadlift motion with a bar and bodyweight squats.

Anyways I got home and same as I said I couldn’t bend without pain for few days, but then after maybe a week it went away. One day I totally forgot what happend to me once already and I tried to deadhang again. Same thing happend but it wasn’t as bad because I remembered what will happen if I try to strech more.

Now do anyone got any clue what could it be, I was thinking that it’s either that I pulled my back, maybe that I overstreched my lower back muscle, or that I irritated my nerve or lumbar disc to the point where I can’t even dead hang without pain like I used to. I’m planning to go do mri or xray scan on my lower back to see what’s up. But I just want if anyone had the same issue or if you maybe know what could it be?
