cool run

I always wanted to run and jog but my strength is not that cooperative. I palpitate and have a hard time breathing and so I end up just walking. I want to be healthy and lose weight but nonetheless I easily get tired. I end up getting turned-off. So I settled with my relaxing walks inside Ateneo campus.

I was surfing the net when I came across this site for a Running Plan. It is specifically designed to help beginners get used to running. I am quite excited to try it and I hope this will work better so I will be more strong and be able to run religiously.

This is a 9-weeks program that I have to do three times a week. No more, no less. The program is interesting as it doesn't require you push yourself too much. You just have to be consistent and be motivated enough.Oh I forgot! Discipline is much needed I guess. I plan to start the program next week. I'm crossing my fingers xx.

Week 1: 5mins warm-up walk/alternate 60sec jog & 2mins walking/ total 20mins
