Make sure you hydrate before your run. Consider investing in a hydration pack. The one I use is something like this. It will take a while for your body to acclimate to the heat, so take your first few runs nice and slow.
Depending on your knee issues maybe a knee brace may help. My knee injury was running related, and I now run with a knee strap. Sometimes just fixing your running form may alleviate some pain on the knee. But check with your doctor on what's best for your knee issue.
I'm 41/m and started my 5K training at 239 lbs I have since lost 10 lbs and still losing. Sure, shin splints stuck with me until week 4 or 5. But magically, they disappeared, and have been pain free ever since.
You can do it. Keep reading this sub for inspiration. Doc Myers and Sam Yao are very good at keeping your spirits high during the run. Report your progress (or lack thereof) here in this sub because we are a supportive collection of people from all walks of life.
Welcome, Runner 5. And I look forward to seeing you at the finish line.
Try one of these <https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000F5R4R2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1509702943&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=muller+knee+support&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=416wl5YlYUL&amp;ref=plSrch&gt; It works wonders. I had the same thing happen to me. I had no history of knee problems but started devloping pain after a day of hiking or biking.
I have problems with my hips as well, and what helps most is an SI belt like this. This is the brand I have, but I'm sure there are other kinds available around the world. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R3KN9S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Dx.RzbF3B85KS
A knee brace would probably also be helpful. It probably doesn't need to be anything big and bulky. For me, a simple Patellar Tendon strap like this helps. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F5R4R2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ol.RzbJ40Z9SP
I know you probably won't be able to find these exact products, but hopefully it gives you an idea of what to look for.
Beyond bracing, physical therapy is usually the biggest help. Strengthening the muscles helps them be able to hold the joints in place and compensate for loose joints / ligaments. These are usually going to be different exercises than the kinds of things you would be doing while lifting weights at the gym. For me, many of the exercises I do involve lying on a mat and using an exercise ball (for things related to my hips) or using exercise bands (for my shoulders). I've heard that exercising in the water is also good because it's easier on the joints, but I haven't tried that.
Yeah I assume they are similar to something like this or this.
I don't know the details of your knee brace, but have you checked out this strap. I wear it all the time except when sleeping. It has immensely helped my knee. Basically it helps support the tendon that connects under the kneecap. Plus, unlike braces it doesn't make your entire knee area hot/sweaty. Just something to check out (it's cheap!) and consider.
I got 2 of these braces. Only 2nd day wearing them, but I can really feel the improvement. It makes walking around not feel weird and painful.
I use one of these when I get knee pain. I find it helps a lot.
Leg extensions. Use both legs to extend then slowly control the weight back down with one leg. You don't have to go all the way to a locked knee if that irritates it.
Single Leg squats. Lower yourself (slow,controlled) into a chair or bench using 1 leg. Use both legs to stand back up.
Same thing on Leg Press.
The weight should be very heavy (for a single leg). You should warm up well. I would sweat like crazy on these, especially the leg press. It's ok if it kind of hurts.
To hold the strap in place I've been putting it on over light under armor, pinching halfway up the shin then pulling the under armor over the strap so that the bottom of the under armor is holding up the strap.
