A member asked:

What do you advise if i'm not running correctly which kind of doctor should i see?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends...: If you mean your legs are not propelling you properly, then you may need an Orthopedist or Neurologist. If you mean that you can't complete a run because you get too winded, you may need a heart or lung doctor.
