Going to start running at 5 am

If you read my last post abotu waking up early you would see that is my current problem btu as soon as i get that right im going swimming in the mornings...

Morning workouts are the best thing ever and it also increases your RMR throughout the day so much better than working out in the afternoon

I've been through that. First it was Monday. Then the start of a new week, then it was the start of the new month. You'll never start like that. Just start any day, any time and stick to it.

Agree.

It's like people going on a diet or a 'healthy eating plan' . For some ridiculous reason, it always starts on a Monday. That Monday will never come!!

I've got one rule, only one rule for jogging:

It needs to be downhill!

But doing something feels good. I didn't do any exercise during the winter cause my face would go ice cold, but starting now I'm fitter than I was even though I skipped for three months.

Every downhill requires an uphill...
 
Be smart. Uphill's for walking/warming up. when you come back its all the way downhill!
 
If you got an Iphone or Blackberry download the adidas miCoach app. I tried it yesterday instead of the old BiM app and miCoach is a lot better and it also includes workout plans.

Go to the factory shops .... New Balance and Adidas ... you can find some very good bargains there.
 
The advantage of running really early is to avoid the fumes from all the traffic (if you live in a city!)
I think the fumes negate the point of running - think of the damage you're doing to your lungs! You could just as well be smoking a cigarette as you run.

I live in a small town now but I come from a big city. I am so happy here, we can go for long walks outside of the town and breathe in the fresh air, Instantly calms me down, After coming back from Pretoria for just the weekend's visit. I am already craving the solitude of my small town..
 
Do not buy Mr Price shoes please. Shoes are the only real investment a runner needs. Poor quality tekkies will ruin your feet. Spend the money, bite the bullet, and get some Asics. The shop up from me has Asics for r700 or so. It's really worth the money.

+1000000

You are going to pay the doctor if you do not pay for shoes.
 
Diet is a more efficient approach to losing excess weight than exercise, though both combined are of course best.

Well ideally you should consult with a podiatrist first so he can recommend the best shoes for your feet and the way you walk, that way you won't spend a grand on takkies that are wrong for you.

The OP is a student... which means he has no cash... so even though Mr Price may not be the best shoes, its better than him running in all stars or something equally as scary :)
 
I appreciate that he might not have cash but when I was a student I also went running in poor quality shoes and I ended up totally wrecking my ankles, which put me off running for like a year.

Hello. Well the first week kinda went well but the second week I tweaked my angle...cr@p shoes.Now im sick :( Also going to go buy one of those machines that builds your upper body..kinda the 'all in 1 machines'. Heard building muscle and cardio means more weight loss.

Sorry...high on some paracetamol so if doesn't make much sense excuse me lol.
