To Knitwit0704....I started my first week by running for 30 seconds...then walking for 3 minutes...then I repeated that 7 times. Then week two....I ran for 1 minute...walked for 2 minute....repeated 7 times. Now I'm on week three and I'm running for 2 minutes....walking for 1 minute. When I feel ready...I'll move my run to 3 minutes...walk for 1...and so on adding a minute as I go until I can run a full 3 miles without walking. :happy:
Thanks everyone! :happy:0 -
CONGRATS!!! This is a big NSV!! Running is great, and when you set a goal for yourself it makes you really want to get motivated and keep going. I am training for a half marathon myself and I was not a runner at all before May.
Keep up the great work and you will rep the benefits that running has to offer!0 -
