I run, walk, run, walk. I just want to run. Running magazine has some really good articles especially for beginners this month.
I’ve found that having some good tunes also helps.

How to run three miles
It made me
Way past cool!
 "Felt good to reach my goal!"
How I did it: A little bit every day, at first I could barely jog anything. I've never been the running/sports type. Now I can't stop! I found that alternating running with walking really helps you build up your lung capacity. I found a run/walk plan online and went for it. It was fun! Next stop, six miles. After that, marathon? The skys the limit! |

More "How I Did It" stories
It made me
How I did it: I told a friend, who happens to be training for a marathon, that I would like to start running. So this friend shows up at my door the next day and drags me on a 1.5 mile run. I protested the whole way, but was glad I went when it was over. The next day I ran 1.7 miles with the same partner. Day three a took a break, because I was so sore (from not running or doing any meaningful excercise in nearly a year). Day four I ran 1.7 miles again… Read how I did it…

Reached a major milestone today – 2.75 miles in a half-hour. I’ll be maintaining this for the next week at which point, I’m going to try for the ultimate goal – 3 miles.

I haven’t gone running in months… I take Yoga now, so I’m still exercising, I just haven’t done that sort of cardio…
I know I need to get back to it, but finding the time to do so is VERY difficult with the schedule I have right now..

I’m up to two miles already. I certainly feel like I can go further, so starting tomorrow, I’m upping it to 2 and 1/4.
1.75
2 years ago
I just ran 1.75 miles the other day. I’m over half-way towards my goal!
You know, I’ve been doing this the complete wrong way: no warm-ups because I want to get straight to the business (or otherwise I wouldn’t do it at all). Also, I start fast and then slow down when I’m out of breath, which is the exact opposite of what you should do, but one of the reasons why I actually feel like going for a run at all is that in the beginning I feel like I’m flying. So I have to do this my way; I can learn about the more effective techniques later, when I’ve developed some confidence in the fact that I can run and I can have fun doing it.

I have been REALLY BAD about running lately… Say, once in the last two or three months? Yeah, REALLY bad… But I’m going to try to get back to it… 3 miles in 30 minutes is still the goal… I’ve set myself back pretty far because of my time off, but I can still do it. (The one time I ran, I actually went 3 miles… Don’t ask how long it took – I don’t know and I’m sure it was really bad…
1.2 miles!

Today: 1.2 miles without stopping! It’s really rewarding that in the beginning, the progress is really fast. Also, it’s great great great to feel like I can do something I never could before. I don’t have to stop where only a few weeks ago I did have to! I’m reclaiming my own body, it seems.
This is fun.

I just bought running shoes! Testing them out, I found out I can run like 0.5 miles without stopping. I’m in decent shape but running obviously takes a lot of practice. Whatever, I’m so bad in this that the only way is up. And I’m having fun at it!

Well i tried to to do three miles yesterday after work and i did it…... it did take me 50 minutes though!!!!.
the most i managed to runs was 3mins at a time oh weel its a start.
Think i going to try and do 1.5miles in the morning and then again after work. That gives me my three miles a day and might have some extra energy to run more than walk.
It is unbeliveable how unfit you can get in a year…oh well suppose i need to start somewhere.
Positive thoughts to everyone:)
