Am I Built Weak or Something? How do I fix it? (lemm.ee)

So I've been running like a mile each day for 3 days out of the week. But I've laid it off since I've been getting a lot of plantar fascitis, knee pain, and pain around my shins.

I'm not even that old. I'm very confused, maybe there are some exercises I can do? Went to a running shoe store and they recommended me some more cushioning shoes like a glycerin gts 22.

Any tips, recommendations, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated.

You'd have to make your stride shorter in order to increase cadence.

Cadence is used as a guide in order to make sure your foot to strikes under your body in order to help prevent injuries.

Interesting. I think I will try to run hitting midfoot now. When I went to the specialist store they told me there isn't a wrong way to run. Their job is to just help is run with that natural way we run.
