Running Clique

Amazing reading this thread. I really want to start running to keep fit. Because of hours of work I just never seem to have the time to keep fit any more.

I'm 43, not over weight, dont smoke etc but just feel so unfit. Whenever I've been for a run in the past I feel knackered after about half a mile!!

Has anyone got any good tips on the best way to start and build up slowly? Is a run, walk, run, walk approach better than just trying to jog the whole thing?

I'm going to try and get myself up really early and try it out.

Cheers

I'd just slow your pace down so even if it feels really slow at first you are comfortable running a few miles with it, then gradually up the pace over a few weeks/months
