Hi Cuqsuita!
You've done really well so far, well done! Had a look at your thread becaure Im a runner too, always have been although this year not so much because I'v been busy eating and putting on weight which is how I ended up here, lol!
Just thought I'd give a few tips that I find helpful when running - dont put yourself under pressure! Dont say to yourself, right I must get out and run a mile - learn to enjoy running (as you know from the joggers high it really is enjoyable) just go out with the aim to jog. Walk a bit, run a bit, walk when you find youre starting to struggle then when you recover run again. You'll feel alot better this way than if you set out to run 2 miles but couldnt run the full two, you can build up distance gradually.
Do you use an ipod?? I find no greater motivator when running than having some great music pumping in my ears, I jog along doing AMAZING dance moves in my head to whatever Im listening to, you dont notice the time going by! I just couldnt run without music to distract me I'd just be concentrating on how tired/ bored I am, lol.
Also, I have a treadmill at home but I much prefe to go outside, the is a huge difference in running out in the fresh air its so much better for you but also you get a better work out running outside because the treadmill actually does some of the work for you - you would notice that you are tired much quicker when running outside than on the treadmill!
Hope these help and best of luck, love youre thread will be back for a visit, lol! x
It was difficult, but I managed to get into a rhythm and keep going. The shade in the woods definitely helped too - I can't yet run well in sunshine, but I'll keep building up my stamina. Am now feeling a lot better for having gone out!
