Another good running idea is to download the 'Couch to 5K' podcast from iTunes. I did this when I ran in the Great South Run a couple years back, in aid of Hampshire Autistic Society. Without a shadow of a doubt the worst experience of my life...<br /><br />K xxkeshlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396657930250980852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316895433129716754.post-91166769399987159382011-06-13T21:16:00.351+01:002011-06-13T21:16:00.351+01:00This has to be one of my fave posts of yours - i w...This has to be one of my fave posts of yours - i want to now 1) know what happened to the shrinker and 2) start running - what are you doing to me!

I will start again soon, as I am always inspired by other people! My commute to work is quick, and heart pounding as I am always racing to get there on time leaving usually a 10-15 gap from when I drop the children off at school till when I start work!

What kind of work are you after? I'm so VERY good at starting things, but get so bored and distracted new hobbies rarely last. I hope I keep up the running as it has really increased my lung capacity.<br />'Fart-legging', sounds like a garment for over-indulgent fans of Greggs and Mc Donalds (moi?). My OH reckons that running technique is best, may give it a go when I run alone (I usually run with a friend who is a great runner).<br />Good luck with the job hunting, I'll be doing the same next year. Form filling and 'pimping' oneself is such a chore.lucy joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863146546863419637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316895433129716754.post-10663973636626438502011-06-13T16:48:55.328+01:002011-06-13T16:48:55.328+01:00I could do with some of that determination with my...I could do with some of that determination with my job hunting. 50 applications fired off and not a toffee in reply. Feel like I'm shouting into a bottomless well.<br />On a different tack, have you tried what the Norwegians call 'fart-legging'(no guffawing at the back!). It basically translates as 'fast-legging'. You run 30 paces and walk 30 paces, it doesn't tire you out so quickly (allegedly) and is supposed to increase your fitness faster.<br />Dunno, never tried it, I'm more one for a nice walk up a hill.Stensil Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021948065989520208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316895433129716754.post-42550697847737755842011-06-13T08:18:06.852+01:002011-06-13T08:18:06.852+01:00Good on you Luce!

I haven't run for years (dodgy knees) but I still remember how good it felt to run outdoors in all weathers, and a great sense of achievement too as you gradually overcome your body's protests!!!Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387407423793099797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316895433129716754.post-20993124434278055642011-06-12T23:50:45.060+01:002011-06-12T23:50:45.060+01:00My other half took up running last year, he's ...My other half took up running last year, he's also asthmatic but found he could manage the Nike programme - 'Walking to Running' I think it's called? He loved it. Naturally I think this was partly because he also bought the magic Nike trainers with the Apple insert under the sole that tracks speed and frequency of runs while linking to the iPod.

My motivation is that it's free, and I can fit it in very early morning or in the evening before the bedtime shift. <br />I'm not built for speed, maybe strength (did I mention I was the school discus champion?!). One day I will combine eating frugally and exercising regularly just like one day I'll have a clean and tidy house...lucy joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863146546863419637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316895433129716754.post-18814790239424457502011-06-12T22:46:14.798+01:002011-06-12T22:46:14.798+01:00I love your posts.
