Running/Jogging as a Way to keep fit?
Hi All;
After a long on again/off again relationship with a gym, i have thought that running might be a better way to keep fit, especially if i do it often enough.
Having never really done any running before, and with the gym not really being very successful I decided to have a bash; I tried to have a quick run round the block last night (I guess about 1000M total) but pulled up after 150-200M coughing and generally out of breath. Very demoralising.
So I would like some advice. What would be a reasonable distance/time to begin with? is there anything i need to be aware of, dangers etc? any tips or advice you can give me? needless to say, im not exactly the fittest guy around, nor am I Rik Waller.
Many Thanks;
Matty
