I went for a walk today,slow paced, including one low hill, tried to run ,cldnt manage more than 90 steps at a time-yes I counted and 90 steps make a minute.Realised I need new shoes, the ones I have are made for walking.
Surfed the various websites, liked http://www.marathontrainingandnutrition.com/ by Billy Milton, esp. the motivational part-the most difficult thing and the most crucial is to make the start. No , in my case, I will make the start with a lot of fanfare but then lose steam around week 3-4 of the program.
Another site-www.Runnersworld.com has a feature-askcoachjenny and she has some good tips for a begining runner,-start slowly, mix walking and running, do the 'talk-test' to see if you are running too fast,have a goal, run with a buddy.
Its just like trying to lose weight-we know how to do it, we all have the knowledge, the problem is to use that knowledge and information.There is so much information on health and fitness,the world wide web has actually made it so accessible, but the doing is still in our hands and that is the most difficult thing. As nike says'Just do it!'
