Does anyone on here go running?
I have been attending the gym for a couple of years now, on and off, but more and more last year. My work out stretched from 20 minutes in the treadmill, slow walk, and 15 minuts on the bike, when I first joined -
to 5 minutes warm up on the cross trainer, straight in to 10 minutes fast and slow on the cross trainer, then 3 sets of weights, 3 x 15 reps on two, 3 x 20 on one, 20 minutes random on the bike, and 20 minutes fast walk on the treadmill and 15 tummy crunchesx however many I can do that day.....
So a big step BUT and this is the bug BUT, I HATE going to the gym. It's such hard work, coming home and then getting ready to go, or even going straight there from work.... and I'mbored of it.. so, I have been pondering running for a while....
I want to just be able to chuck on some old joggers and trainers, run out my front door and run back and jump in the shower....
So, I was wondering who else on here runs? Does anyone have any tips for a first timer?
Also, silly question, but should I run before or after my tea? because it will be evening runs....
And, what should I aim for? I mean, 3 x half an hour a week or 3 x an hour a week? whats a good amount to aim for and sustain?
Any information would be brilliant Thanks x
