Hi everyone,
I've been wanting to run for a long time now, but have been put off so many times. I'm never really been the athletic type as I had quite serious asthma in my school years.
My fittness has improved quite alot over the last year as I've been doing cardio 4 times a week and weights, swimming and pilates twice weekly. I can walk the legs of most people, but for some reason I find running a massive hurdle.
I'm slightly underweight and could probobly do with gaining some muscle, but the main problem is breathing. I become out of breath within a few minutes of running on the treadmill, while 'power walking' for up to an hour doesn't cause much excursion at all.
Anyway, I thought I'd introduce myself and give an overview of my situation. Maybe someone has some, if any advice for the hopeless newbie. :d
