Hi,
In the last six months I have reguarly attended the gym at least 3x a week minimum. All low impact.
I do 30 mins cross-trainer at a moderate level, about 15 mins of weights(I focus mainly on my upper half and abs)
And I do about 15-20 mins either on the rowing machine or excercise bike. Sometimes I swim about 1x a week (depends on time).
My heart rate is approx 190+ on average whilst working out (according to the machine)
In the last 3months I've changed my eating habits-going from 1500 calories per day to 1200 calories. Thats going well and I've had no problems with that. (Except 1 binge but I forgive myself
) In fact I feel better for it.
Also I have started taking my dog for longer walks (last month) approx 5miles every other day (when not at gym) and about 2miles any other day. And I have Saturdays off as my little boy takes her.
So I feel I have about an average fitness level.
But everytime I try to run, I get really bad aches in my shins and ankles and I get so out of breath. that I have to stop. I would really love to get out and start running but with these aches and breathlessness...
Also I went to a prof. running shop and had them test me and get me 'proper' running shoes that I need. But they have only made a slight improvement.
Any ideas in how I can get running instead of walking??
