I went jogging today twice this week. the first time I was really self consious today it was better I jogged more than the last time. I could barely jog 3 miles I had to keep stopping but I did not stop I walked.
How long did it take you to jog 3 miles it feels like forever. I am doing this for boxing my coach told me to jog to get my stamina

You are being hard on yourself for not being able to do something right off that most people have to build up to! (Both for fitness reasons and to prevent injury).
It took me ten weeks to build up to jogging about 3 miles, perhaps a bit less distance than that, even. And I started in fairly good cardio condition from regular dancing, and was not at all overweight.
I felt great about how I progressed.0 -
your boxing coach is right! I had a fight in december. Figured that running wise, i only needed to do 15 minutes really, as total ring time would be 12 minutes max. I made up time with the rope. But i was wrong. I really needed to do more road work!
But remember, very few people are able to just go out and run 3 miles! Run/walk to begin with is fine, and build up to it. I would assume that you already have a decent base level of fitness from boxing circuits, so it shouldn't take you more than a few weeks to get up to 5km.0 -
If you already had the ability to jog three miles without pause, it's likely that your boxing coach wouldn't have felt the pressing need to send you out to improve your stamina.0

Try using a program like C25K, but since you are already fairly fit you can probably start in week 3 or 4?0

It took me around 3 months to be able to jog 3 miles without stopping. And even then it was very slow.your boxing coach is right! I had a fight in december.

This. I would guess that the majority of the population at large cannot go out and run even 1 mile without an adrenaline-driven reason to do so. It took me a bit over 3 months to run 3 miles straight without walking breaks. I was overweight and out of shape when I started out. I'm not sure where you are, fitness-wise.

THIS. I have mild asthma and just janky joints. I can hardly jog/walk a single mile without feeling like my lungs are going to burst. It's good that you wanna push yourself, but the important thing is that you DID it, so go you!

iv never jogged 3 miles in my life my cardio is poor I can lift but conditioning is poor0 -
It took me a few months to get up to two miles, then I had to stop and now I'm back to less than a mile. Don't shame yourself for where you're at now, just get out there and run.0

Running was definitely a huge challenge for me, but don't expect to be so well right off the bat! It took me about 4 weeks to run comfortably for 3 miles. Hard to say, but enjoy the process and think of how far you've come! Most people aren't putting the effort you've put in so far.0

I do that in the gym its really good way to warm up I would do 5 rounds of skipping 3 minutes0 -
Just going out and running 3 miles is not wise. Even if you can get through the miles, as a beginner, the toll on your body is too great. Your cardiovascular system adapts much faster than your musculoskeletal system. If you don't build up slowly, you are at risk for minor injuries such as shin splints or even major injuries like fractures.
Running is a LOT of pounding on the body. Our bodies can take it, but we must build a solid base or risk getting injured.0 -
Thank you I pushed myself today I am a very self consious person I dont like going out lol it may sound weird but I have condition SLI specific langauge impairment my school therapist said its hard for me to go to new areas and stuff but I dont care what anyone says I know I can do things I will continue to go outside my comfort zone and pushNekoneMeowMixx wrote: »demoiselle2014 wrote: »You are being hard on yourself for not being able to do something right off that most people have to build up to!

It took me about a month to run one mile, and another month to run three miles. Couch to 5k is awesome.
Now that I've been running about 4.5 years, I realized I much prefer running with some walk intervals. It doesn't have much effect on my overall pace and makes the activity more enjoyable.0 -
Why not drop in to a running clinic to get some face-to-face tailored advice for how to build up your stamina jogging? They'll be able to tell you about your running form(to prevent injury) and which weeks you could be seeing your milestones at.
Good luck!0
