I read this many many times...so many times that ... now i have reach certain stage of training .. i truely believe this passage and look forward to reach the next level of training...
This is an extract from a Shape Run's handbook, from a woman who only started running when she is 40 years old...
Taking Little Steps
From a medical point of view, it is best to start slow and easy. Running is a high impact activity, with ground reaction forces averaging 3 times our body weight. Our bodies are able to tolerate such forces, but only if we increase the load progressivly.
For a start, brisk walk, cycle, row, swim, use the eppliptical trainer, or engage in the other non/low impact activities, as you go fitter, make a gradual transition towards running.
On the topic of brisk walking, that was all i had initially planned to do and something i could envision myself sustaining everyday. But after a month, i wanted to do something more, so i strapped on some wrist weights to tone my upper arms. At the end of second month, my feet begin to jog. The rest is a blur of an addictive runner's high. Today i am out on the pavement on one long run every Sunday clocking 5km to 6km twice a week
Elis is now on the trying to buy some weights to strap on my wirst cos i want to tone my upper arms too stage... I am looking forward to get addicted to running... it is really that u dun start u cannot believe thing... i just prayed that the feeling can keep on and on and on and on.....
