I'm just starting to get into running.. I'm 17, 5'8", 130-5 pounds and not in track or anything I'm actually playing volleyball right now. I try and run about twice a week which pretty much all I have time for since my practices don't get out until about 6. Right now I can run a 615 mile if I'm trying, and my usual 2 an a half mile run takes about 20-25 minutes depending on what I feel like at any given moment haha. Anyways I run on 4 year old k-mart reebok specials, and most of the time come out cold turkey and don't stretch. I notice after about a mile and a half my knee starts to hurt (I just have bad knees) and shortly after my calves start to tighten up. I was wondering if I could be pointed in the direction of some stretches/running techniques to help make my runs more enjoyable and some shoes that the typical 17 year-old jobless s13 owner can afford. Thanks in advance!
