Running when overweight needs to be under consideration in my opinion.
If you're 15kg over ideal. Whatever that is. Depending on form. You could be impacting your joints with effectively 45kg extra.
Running is a injury minefield at the best if times.
I try as hard as I can to push my rugby (so heavy) mates into cycling.
If you're training for marathons and tris. You have to run a bit obviously. But if you're merely trying to lose weight. Jump on a bike.
