I have heard them all. And I am here to refute them. Yes, I ran 52 marathons in 52 weekends. But I was also a 235lb rugby player who after college was definitely not in any sort of condition to be a runner. So I have been there. Believe me. Let me walk you through the top reason I have heard why not to run and my refutation of them all.

Start slow. Really slow if you have to. Want to know what you are NOT too out of shape to do? Die. And die fat.
