Running?
| Tue, 05-24-2005 - 12:00am |
Has anyone ever considered running? Do any of you run now? I am seriously considering trying to make a goal to start running 2 - 3 times a weak, but at this point, can barely run a quarter mile without getting out of breath or having painful cramps. I understand it's something you build up to, but just wondering if anyone is working toward a running goal or is considering doing so.

Well, I hate running. Bores the heck out of me! However, my dh runs. He said to try walking some/running some. Get into your brisk walking pace and then set a goal, say a tree down the street, and jog to it..... then walk some more. Then set another goal and jog to it. Keep doing this during your usual walk. Gradually increase the distance you run and the frequency with your endurance.
Hope this helps!

I'd love to try running,but I think I'd like to first get under 200lbs.(less stress on the poor knees at a lower weight :o)) and then chat up my Dr. and see what he thinks.I have problems breathing after strenuous exercise,so I keep to walking and low impact.Would love to be able to get into it though.

I think I agree with the stress it puts on the legs weighing so much. I have seen much larger women than I out there running though, so I'm not sure. I did some looking around online last night and found this article to be the one that looked like it made the most sense...in case anyone is interested:

I just started running about a month ago. I usually do it 2 times a week. When i first started, I couldnt go even half of a quarter mile w/o huffing and puffing....Now, I can go about a quarter and then some....It takes time to build up.

I will be really honest with you guys.....I am afraid to run....I weigh 300 pounds and fallen down many, many times. And it hurts so bad. I just can't begin to describe to you the pain...I even afraid to walk in some place where uneven ground may be or where there is tiled flooring etc..
