Liviam - It's called interval training. Basically you listen to a voice in your ear phones (you can download an iPhone app or tracks from the internet) and it tells you when to run and when to walk. At the start its more walking than running. So you might walk for 2 mins then run for 90 seconds. As the weeks progress the amount that you run increases slowly so you are getting used to it. Different versions have music or you can listen to your own.
Ausgirl - I reckon give it a go. I'm in the same boat as you!!! If you find its too much then take it slow. Do the first week for 2 weeks rather than one so you get used to it. Or work up to doing the full program - so the first time say you will do 15 minutes of a 30 minute program etc. As with anything it works if you stick with it. I'm hoping everyone here can keep me honest and help me get there. You in?
Yeah, okay,willing to give it a try! I don't have a fancy phone to download any ap to though, so I'll just download the page and print it out! When are you starting?
