Hello Everyone,

I'm Vinod, from India. I've been running all my life and ran a half marathon in 2011. I've been having issues lately.. jumpers knee from playing volleyball and gave up running for sometime until I read 'born to run', gave it a try and just loved the high it gave me. No knee pain at all. But out of my excitement.. ran too much too fast .. was doing 7 km within a week and was also using a metronome to get to 180. I had to pay for it and I think i strained my metacarpals. X ray looked fine, so I'm just waiting to get back there and run. I'm not giving up on barefoot ever. 2 more weeks:) Happy running!!!
 
Welcome, Vinod. Go slow. You'll be fine. In the meantime, please join the India Chapter through the Chapters link above. Glad you're here! :barefoot:

Hi Vinod. Muscles develop strength more quickly than joints, tendons, ligaments, etc.. You need to take it easy until everything else catches up with your muscles. Good luck.
