      I am new to athletics in my adult life. I did a lot of sports and running in highschool but not much since. (I’m almost 42). I want to start running again so I picked up Ready to Run and am reading it right now. I’m maybe a 1/3rd through. My question is I know before even getting started I don’t have good external rotation in the shoulders, I am having problems squatting, I need to work on ankles. The list goes on. Do I need to correct everything before I even get out on the road. I am doing other excersizes (boxing, yoga, weights). It just seems really dawnting and impossible.
      Thanks for your input

      Hello Jill!

      You certainly don’t need to correct everything before getting started! We are all a work in progress. These resources are designed to optimize performance and address issues as they arise but don’t worry about fixing everything before getting started. Make a checklist of things you would like to work on and just spend a little bit of time each day addressing 1-2 of those from your list at a time. Don’t try and fix everything at once. The most important thing is to keep moving and start exercising.
