Ok so just started

[Fatbutgettingthinner]

Hey all,
Just thought i would write a quick note on my first run. I'm afraid i fall into the stupidly unfit overweight smoker category so will keep the moaning to a minimum. Anyhow i'm 29 6ft 5inch an verging on 19st so thought enough is enough, downloaded the app today and took the plunge as soon as i got in from work. To be honest i didnt think i would be able to run for a minute fall stop but surprised myself by completing the whole run, am chuffed to bits, the only downside is i feel like i need a new pair of lungs!!! Bring on the second round.

Thanks for reading

Dave

Awesome Dave! Nice one starting. It's plenty of challenge without being a smoker, so double well done

[Fatbutgettingthinner]

Thanks Ben, am seriously feeling it today. Hopefully will have recovered by tomorrow for round 2!!!

Sound like yu did great, I am a 3 year ex smoker just gone 50 and never done excercise since i was about 10, so was also chuffed to bits when i did day 1, its a great feeling inside, althought the body is crying out."HELP"
Might skip to day three in morning as on Holiday and can run by sea in early morning breeze. wish it was like this at home.

Ok so its the 20 minute run tonight and its safe to say i am packing it. All runs up to this point have been a success but have massive pre run nerves, just thought i would share the pain.

Thanks

Morning,
Well i skipped my 25 min run yesterday due to manflu recovery and did it today. All i can say is my god that was hard, its the first time during this whole programme that i actually felt physically sick during a run. Maybe is because of the cold who knows but one things for sure, i aint giving up.


Many Thanks

Dave

Wow, Dave, you have done soooo well!! Huge kudos to you. You are inspiring!

[Fatbutgettingthinner]

Morning All,
So i completed my first 28 min run yesterday which was fun. Felt like i could have kept going which is always an encouragement. Anyhow only one minor gripe, its that my buttocks hurt big time ha ha, is this a common injury?

Thanks

Great stuff finishing the long run. If your buttocks hurt, sounds like yer doin' it wrong . Sorry, I have no idea - I'm a total novice too.
Good luck and Thanx for the inspiration. Btw have u lost weight over the weeks?
