Am I Built Weak or Something? How do I fix it? (lemm.ee)

So I've been running like a mile each day for 3 days out of the week. But I've laid it off since I've been getting a lot of plantar fascitis, knee pain, and pain around my shins.

I'm not even that old. I'm very confused, maybe there are some exercises I can do? Went to a running shoe store and they recommended me some more cushioning shoes like a glycerin gts 22.

Any tips, recommendations, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you gone to a physical therapist that specializes in running? They can give you a diagnosis and the corresponding proper exercises to help get rid of the pain. You probably need some plyometrics, some tib exercises and knee strengthening at least twice a week.
