I'd love a buddy

Hello, I'm at university at the moment and am not so much on a diet but more getting into a fitness regime, im following a running book called 'running made easy' with a 10 week plan that will hopefully get me running 3 miles. If anyone's done running or are doing similar fitness regimes id love to share and hopefully get a bit more motivated to run in the winter whether than i am at the moment.

Hi - who wrote the book? Id like to get a copy. Im terrible at exercising, if i buy the book it may give me a bit of an incentive!

I would like a buddy to do this with, any takers?

I am just starting running I figured I would go with the couch to 5k. I would love to be your buddy!

would like some one to encourage me and get me going to excersise and lose weight

as I said, the best encouragement comes from yourself when you will see that you are making progress and actually start to FEEL better in your own body. Nothing beats that. I would say just start small and stick to a routine no matter how short....even 10 minutes a day at the beginning is fine. You have to remember 2 things:

1. Momentum is key.....so build momentum for the first 30 days or so.
2. Any habit takes about 3-4 weeks to form. So you just have to hit your practice every single day (no matter how crappy you feel)....and your sub-conscious will create barriers and it is going to be difficult but you have to get through the critical first 3-4 weeks everyday. Once you form a habit....you will be well on your way to making a big ifference.

I'm im! I always have trouble keeping up with a running plan but I love the results.
You can count on one more buddy

good job nichi

I too have just started a running routine! I warm up for 3 minutes-walk @ 3.8 for 3 minutes-run @6 to 6.5 for 3 minutes... and I do this for 30 minutes on my treadmill! I feel great afterwards and have already noticed after one week that I have alot more stamina during the last run interval! I am slowly changing my eating habits and noticing suttel changes in my body and mind! I could use some buddies as well, we can do this together...

I'm new at running and would love to start doing more =)

How do I start running after doing nothing for 3 years?

It is never safe to look into the future with eyes of fear., Lets get started and make it happen...

I stopped smoking and started walking. 2years later, I'm running 5k. stick with it. I seem to do better on the treadmill instead of the street. I was getting shin splints.
