I went jogging for the first time (for a very very long time, and never regularly before) this afternoon. It was a disaster. I made it about five minutes down the road, only jogged about half of that, sat on a bench for five minutes then walked/jogged back. I was managing about 30 second bursts before having to slow to a walk again. My body felt fine, no protest from my legs which surprised me, but my chest and throat just burned and I struggled for breath. I feel very disheartened, it took me so much time to build the courage to go out there at all. Hated the thought of people looking at me wobbling along.
I suppose what I want people to tell me is that that's normal for my weight and fitness level and that it will improve. If I keep attempting that short distance daily how long before I should be able to manage it?
