[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 231664, member: 33342"] It's true that runners are injury prone, probably mainly due to shoe choice than anything else. 7 million years of evolution went into making sure that your heart, lungs and knees are capable of running. I"m a 255lb runner and I can happily knock out 8 miles without any ill effect the next day. Obviously, if you go out and try and run 3 miles without buliding up slowly (through walking and running), you'll get injured. I started slowly using a sensible programme - it took me 4 or 5 weeks before I was running 10 minutes continuously. The fat-burning zone thing is an urban myth, and is almost universally discredited. Anyway, if you want to run at a lower heat rate, then just run slower. I agree that walking is a great exercise (and also a great way to start running), but the problem for me is that it is so low instensity that, as you begin to improve, you are forced to walk longer and longer distances, and it's difficult to fit that into a busy week. Any exercise is good exercise. [/QUOTE]
