There'...Have you tried the couch to 5k program? There's podcasts out there that are built around it. It's just run/walk intervals, that build you to running 5k in 9 weeks. It's the only way I managed to get from running for 30 seconds and dying, to now being able to run 5k. I once did a 7k, but apparently that was a blip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215666383111291513.post-14631251943954718812014-01-07T12:42:29.902+00:002014-01-07T12:42:29.902+00:00As a fellow not-built-to-runner, I ask... why not ...As a fellow not-built-to-runner, I ask... why not just try another form of exercise? Can't see how torturing yourself is going to help your motivation. If you don't enjoy running and you aren't seeing your body respond positively to it, maybe it's not for you. There are so many varied ways to get exercise. Wouldn't it be great to find one that you enjoy doing, and that gives you positive results?

Listen to yourself, not your friends. If it makes you feel better to walk, then walk. If you want to drink water beforehand (I do FWIW) then drink. And don't worry about your progress. It's a cliche, but you're running more than those people sitting on the sofa watching Celebrity Big Brother. This is A. Good. Thing. Well done :)nuttycowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10404690160646306404noreply@blogger.com
