How come? Does that also include interval as opposed to endurance? I say intervals are hands down the best way to lose fat. I have to look more into this though, it's different from actual training. I do admit, there are risks, just as they're are risks in driving. That doesn't mean we should look at things with total awareness. I've had overweight friends, some started running right away, others just changed their diet. Then again, if someone is really determined, they're more likely to start out hard and expose themselves to injury. _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8

I'm not arguing the effectiveness for an experienced runner. For a beginner, you have to be patient and gradually discover how much you can handle before adding the intensity. The sport is riddled with injured runners from doing too much too soon.

But how does one discover without attempting. How could she discover she can jog instead of walking for 30 minutes? Maybe trying to jog 15 minutes at first? When I say working near max training potential one can handle I don't mean doing too much too fast. If you do too much too fast then that would be like overshooting like you said. If jogging really would be her safe range then there should be no problem. Yes, I started to run very hard at first, but not enough to injure myself like a fool and get a stress fracture in the right tibia like my rival did...and what happened in the end? I was leagues ahead of him. _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8

Easy: experience. Trying to bypass experience is foolish in the context the feedback here is being requested.

Once comfort is achieved at one level then its put to the next level - varying the degrees of intensity in a very slow manner - especially for a beginner.
saragirl - you have made some very excellent strides here - keep up the great work! As time goes on you will feel better and better - as much as possible try to make sure these things are done outside (within reason of course) I have always found this to be most advantageous but to each his (or her) own... _________________ The long run is what puts the tiger in the cat. |

Marathons are easy, so many old people and people who were even obese have ran the marathon. To run the mile or short distances like those competetively, you pretty much need to run since you were in you teens. Most people go straight to the marathon. _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8

Another incorrect statement... run one and tell me how easy it is. _________________ The long run is what puts the tiger in the cat. |
