jogging routine

So, this evening I decided to make a start on the jogging effort …. not the best idea with a chesty cough!

Anyway, the thought in my head was 1 min jog 1 min walk for 30 minutes, working up longer jogs over time. Quickly realising a fast 2 mile walk every morning means nothing I had to cave at the 15 minute mark, meaning I’m going to first work up to a 30 minute session of 1 on 1 off then work on length from there.

Other things brought up by this initial fail are:

  1. I need to plan my music before I start out
  2. I need to extend my stretching routine to involve upper legs
  3. I need to do one of the following
    1. pick a place i can run during the day so it doesnt wake me back up and can be a touch warmer (breathing cold air increased coughing)
    2. pick up the courage to jog anywhere and ignore what people might think
    3. run same place but do it an hour after tea (i.e not as late)
  4. I could do with non baggy shorts and some cheap t-shirts for running in

So, I continue on Thursday, making sure to leave 48 hours between jogging sessions (this will not effect my walking)
