I'm doing a c25k program. I'm a bit all over the place with scheduling my runs, I can't seem to fit it in at the right times between working and being a mommy. My knees are a bit sore, nothing serious I don't think but still it makes me nervous. It makes me question, should I be running at all? If walking a mile briskly and running a mile burn roughly about the same calories, then maybe I shouldn't be putting myself through this when I could just walk with a stroller and not worry about scheduling in runs?
Why is running better for you than walking?
