Does running actually ruin your knees or is that just a myth?

I was recently certified as a personal trainer, though I am not a runner. Based on what I’ve learned part of it is genetics and a large part is body mechanics. Most of us don’t have good proprioception and if we’re not explicitly taught the best or most functional way to engage in an exercise or movement we can develop poor/inefficient movement patterns. Over time that leads to imbalances and wears on our joints. Working with a trainer or a coach for a little while might be a good thing. You don’t necessarily need someone to tell you to run 5 miles. Rather, you need someone trained in anatomy and functional movement analysis to observe you and help you make corrections. Does that help at all?

It depends on volume, mechanics, and if you have a preexisting condition/minor muscle-skeletal defect. Basically what SC1 said.

If you feed your body what it needs, you will be fine.

I think running brings too much impact to the knee, I don’t like it

Yes

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

At the beginning of quarantine, I was really depressed. I was drinking too much alcohol, eating too much junk food, and generally not in a good place. I realized I couldn’t continue like that so I started a plan to be healthier. As of today, I am down 11 pounds & am my lowest weight in years! It has been a slow weight loss but I am focusing on making sustainable lifestyle changes that I can keep up. I am so excited and proud!!
