Should I run?

263lbs, 25, Male, 5’11 (AND a half)

I’m thinking about signing myself up for a 5k that’s at the end of May.

This is because I’ve lost a solid 12lbs now (275-263) so far and feeling good, have a solid foundation and diet in place now, and feel like a goal like this is the natural next step.

I can begin training for it, trying to get some physical exercise outside of my diet, help the weight loss, but also make me stick to being healthier overall instead of just focused on calories.

However, I’m not set on the idea and that’s why I’m asking, bc I AM bad at running when I have, but I don’t ever do it really, and I do still have a big body (mainly all at my belly/torso) and my knees could be bad if I do it a lot. Idk tho.

I want a goal and something like that but don’t want to overextend myself or worse sign up and either fuck up my diet and give up OR realise I can’t run it well or I’ll take too long. Bc I don’t want to risk my diet really and feeling humiliated socially. I need to be VERY careful here.

Maybe I wait? And simply sign up when I’m down to like under 200lbs? If I follow my diet plan rn I’d be somewhere in 220s-230s by end of May, is that reasonable? Is that alright for training and losing weight at the same time. I simply don’t know.

Looking for advice! Thanks! 🙏
