Runners run
Reminds me of a quote from me before any knee injury I've ever gotten. (three bad injuries, same knee). That's all I'll say. And actually, new runners are at a higher risk of "overtraining" because you get in shape much faster than your body adapts to the constant pounding of regular running.

"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009
