The regimen I have decided to follow says I need to learn as much as I can about running marathons, buy good shoes, keep records of my progress, learn about (meaning improve) my nutrition and look into other activities to supplement my roadwork.
I've seen my doctor and got his advice.
"You're too fat. Lose weight and get some exercise!"
I have the halfway decent shoes I bought the last time I decided to get into shape.
Now I guess I just need to start running!
My stats as I begin week 1:
Weight: 195.6
Waistline 43.0
Blood Pressure 129/61
Resting pulse: 62
Since the minimum short run in the program I'm following is three miles, the first thing I need to do is build up to that minimum. So tomorrow I will start by running for thirty minutes.
I'll start at a slow pace and try to keep jogging. If I have to, I'll switch to walking three minutes for every two minutes run, but hopefully I can keep up the low pace.
