Hello everyone
Gary from Aberdeen saying 'Hello'
Now been running for 6 months (15th May) Was on holiday to Santa Monica last October and the place was full of runners. Had been thinking about it for a year so this holiday helped me decide. Back home and did some shopping.
First run was just around the block during November. Cannot remember the exact distance but was not far at all. Back home and totally exhausted. I have progressed slowly and now run 3 times a week, 2 x 4.7k and 1 x just over 5k. Managing to run without stopping now. Was not overweight tostart with but wanted to loose some of the fatty desposits around my waist. This seems to be working. I work out with weights twice a week too.
Since started running I have been cutting out all the bad stuff, well most of it anyway! Biscuits, crisps and the like. Doing well. Now beginning to see definition on my stomach.
Not sure but seem to think I am hitting a rut. Quite happy doing what I am doing, distance wise but feel I really need to start speeding things up so ANY advice and help would be great.
Purchased a Nike Sportband a few weeks ago. While it is not the most accurate devices it is quite good for me.
Anyone else from Aberdeen here?
Cheers
Gary
