I'm pretty fed up with running at the moment - and said to Mrbeanz this morning that maybe I should give up trying
he pointed out that I have entered a race in October so maybe I should keep at it
the trouble is that I am back at square one - still overweight and now no running fitness - I've not run consistently for a year now - since I finished FLM last April
so I went out and tried but without any plan - do I try Run-Walk or running to HR - and if so what HR?
I just don't know
so I have just posted this on RW training thread
the question
I can't decide whether to go back to basics and start with run 1 walk 1
or base train at 70% HR
I think I tend to mix them both and end up with worst of all possible worlds!
An added problem, not mentioned on the thread, is that on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I run with other folk - who don't understand schedules - and certainly not structured run-walking, so I tend to just huff and puff and struggle to keep up on those days. And I don't have the courage to say 'this is what I am doing' for all sorts of reasons.
Help????
