P.J. Blakey-Novis’s Reviews > Run Walk Crawl: Getting Fit In My Forties > Status Update

How are you finding it Pete? I've been meaning to ask if the book offers any advice on how often to run when starting out. I kinda overdo things but was enjoying running till I hurt my legs last year.

It's really great, I've also overdone things though and got heel bursitis so I'm supposed to be resting for a couple of weeks (nice excuse for new shoes!). Got an exercise bike so that'll have to do for a while. The book is great, entertaining and motivating

Ah yeah, bursitis is no good. I didn't know it had a heel variety. From what I've seen in others it's important to be patient otherwise it can last a long time (be patient now or be patient later, I guess).

Yeah Dr had a look and said rest for a few weeks. I did 9 days then went for a run, made it worse so I'll be more sensible now...
