Hi!
A while back someone posted a great schedule to ease yourself into running. My problem has always been pushing myself too far too soon and then getting discouraged because it was SO HARD! One more thing: I'm currently 256 but have a lot of endurance and am in good health, but is it safe to start running at such a high weight? I know I can't get any medical advice here but if anyone has started running at a similar weight, that would be helpful to know.
Does anyone have a tried-and-tested method of "walk this many minutes, then run this many minutes, build up over time" sort of thing?
Also, I'd really like to do this around the lake near home (nice and flat!) but am really nervous about the looks I'll get as I huff and puff and jiggle. Any advice for just not caring and doing it anyway?
Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance! I'm ready to get started!
