Just read your post again....you're nearly 260 pounds?
How tall are you, what size shoes do you wear, and how old are you? I need to know a little bit more about what kind of shape you're in now before I can give you any more advice, kid. If you're more than 20% body fat and have been sedentary for any length of time, you could give yourself a frigging heart attack if you take off on a hard 1 mile run without working up to it.Comment

Depends on whether he's proportionate. If he's 6' and change or better, wears a size 13 or 14 shoe or bigger, is 17% body fat or less and is under 25, he could probably take off at a dead run for a mile and be fine, but if he's 6' flat or less, wears a size 11 shoe, has 23% body fat, is 27 and has spent the last 6 months in front of a PC in his mother's basement...well, he'd better take a cell phone on his mile sprint, 'cause he's gonna need to call an ambulance.
But in answer to your question, yeah, if he's 30 pounds overweight and starts running like that, he's going to end up with compression injuries to his knees...and a massive coronary.Comment

It's even easy for guy who are in good shape to give themselves knee problems if they're overbulked in muscle mass. Weightlifting is basically ****** if you're doing it simply to gain mass. Strength training won't usually even add much mass at all (if it's done right), just tone and definition. I'm one of those guys with a large frame, and bulk up easy anyway. If I'd ever lifted weights, I'd have lost much of my speed and mobility, and gained nothing except size. I'm 6'2", wear a size 13 shoe, 2x large gloves, and still manage to keep a 34" waist and weigh in at between 210 and 220. Gets harder as you get older, believe me. I don't run anymore because I don't want to risk knee injury...too expensive to fix, and your body can only do **** like that for so long before it wears out, and I've pushed it about as far as I can, I think. I'd actually prefer to swim, but the Y is 15 miles away, and it's hard for me to make time for it.Comment

Why the two day break? I always felt like consistantly was better to stay in shape. Getting there, I can see a reason for the break...your body uses that time to fix things during that time off when you're bringing yourself up to that level, but once your there...do you feel it's still a good idea to take that kind of break?Comment
