Restarting to running after weight gain (lemmy.ml)

As title says, I started running again after 1 year break and gained weight therefore I'm little bit anxious about overdoing it without being aware of it because risk of injuries.

If anybody has similar experience, I would love to hear it!!!

Yeah. Couch to 5K is the way to go and apps like Just Run help. Listen to your body and don't over do it. I just ran my first 5K today after working back from a long hiatus because of surgery. I've gained a lot of weight and hoping improving my diet and getting back to running will help trim me up. Good luck!
