I used to run many years ago when I was 16 but had an accident which kept me from running for about 12 months and I never got back into it. Ive now decided to start getting back to running and as abit of help ive asked my 12 year old daughter to come along with me. Im overweight but my daughter is as slim as anything. Anyway we run every other day with weekends off but we just dont seem to be getting anywhere after 3 weeks of trying. we start off by running 2 minutes and then walk for 1 minute then we run again but my daughter can only manage 1:30 and then we rest again and for the rest of the work out she can only manage running 1 lampost distance then walking to the next one then running to the next etc. we end up doing 1.2miles in 16 minutes. weve got proper light weight running shoes etc but im starting to get frustrated as I dont feel were really comming along. So does anyone have any advice for a real beginner and a young daughter who I just cant seem to push anymore than she is already doing.
thanks in advance.
