Hi any runners out there can help me out with plan?

Hi, have just started to run (in the gym, as living in dodgy area!), and would like someone to make sure that my plan is ok.

I have been training for years and years, on and off different things, ie weight training, bodyrocktv bodyweight exercises. I have run before, but just want to get into it again.

M: Full body weights
T: HITT
W: Easy
T: HITT
F: Rest
S: Tabata
S: Distance

My goal is to get fitter, and lose all the cellulite on my thighs and butt, and to get tight, get rid of the wobbles.

Any advice would be helpful

Thanks, Rach

I would definitely add an incline to any running you do. Even the slightest amount will make a difference to your fitness level and overall toning especially your butt!
Cellulite is tricky though, and exercise wont do it alone. Drink lots of water and try to make good healthy food choices - that will make a difference, but there's very litte you can do to really get rid of it completely other than improve the way it looks. Good luck

Ok, thanks for that. Will try incline. I do try and drink alot of water, I have a 2 litre bottle on my desk at work. My diet is quite clean, but have the odd slip up here and then which has to stop cause I feel like im going round in circles. I really dont have much weight to lose, if any, but I just need my legs/butt to stop wobbling!

I'm with you Estelle !

I'm fit (Zuzana's follower too , don't really have any weight to lose, pretty decent BF% , I eat well about 80% of the time but I still have that wobbling around my hips, butt and tights. Do you have a desk job ? I'm suspecting these last 15 years spent mostly seated are part of the reason my bottom area is so hard to tone.

I've started running this year (outdoor, in Feb). Don't have much experience but I can tell it has definitely defined my calves, but hasn't do much for my butt and tights. In fact, I think you need strong tights to start with if you want to avoid knee pain. I started running really progressively to allow time for my body to adapt and I now run about 20km per week: a fast 5km (under 5 minutes per km), a moderate 6.5km with a hill in the middle of the run, and a slow/easy 8.5km. I'll keep doing this for a few weeks before I gradually increase distance again.

Yup, I have had the same desk job for 15 years also!! Suppose that doesnt help one bit. Apparently my family are a bit pear shaped as well, so maybe its genetics too, but surely I can get there. I have been trying to get my bum down for years and nothing has helped it yet!!!

Sooo frustrating!!
