hey there

tomorrow I plan on going running. havent done so in a long time, but I hope this will improve me physically and mentally.

I havent done this in years - 10 years infact. I have things to wear and shoes, all I need is to run. I will run a block and see how well I go.

Im so shy and probably look shit being all red face and I never go out without make-up on so that will be a scary sight! lol.

Anyway, I need advice on warm ups and food. I need to have breakfast...If I eat at 8.00 am and go running at 9 am, would that be a good time?

I have a history of fainting so its important that I dont do anything stupid.

i'd eat something super light and then start slow - walk, run, walk run...
and stretch out tons before and after. that's the most important part

thanks.

Aw! I'm actually on the track team and I try to convince myself every day on the weekend to go running, but I don't want to look like an idiot and so far I haven't gone out. When the season ends I probably will, but it takes serious willpower.

I'd walk and then progress into a power walk before you start jogging. Also, sprinting at the end of your jog makes it much more efficient in calorie burning.

yes sprinting at the end is great because you know it will soon be over and the pain is more tolerable.
