running
I play volleyball at a small college and we have preseason at the begining of august. this year before the start of practice we have a timed 2 mile run. now i consider my self in pretty good shape but i really just hate running so much. its always been used in sports as a punishment and i just can not run long distances. it hurts my knees and so i have never been able or really tried that hard to be able to run 2 miles. can some one please give me suggestions on where to start so i can run the timed 2 mile before my pre season? I am a member at a small gym also if that helps
thankss!

What you need to work on is your endurance, like the below person said, I would start by running a half a mile, until its easy for you, then move it up. Also, while you are running focus alot on your breathing, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Those are really the best things to do, you can also try getting a knee brace if your knees hurt, but it is probably just that your body isn't used to running that sort of distance.
Hope I Helped & Good Luck :)

I would start by running 1/2 mile and slowly build up from there. When I started running my knees and ankles would hurt and I also thought I was in good shape. After I started running a little bit and got more fit specifically for running they stopped hurting and now they dont hurt at all. I think the key for you would be to start running now because the test is going to creep up on you fast.
