Round 2

A bit better finishing 3 kms in 28 mins. The calves were both paining all the way through and haven't been able to hit a rhythm  in the 1 hr I have run till now, maybe should start running outside soon. The breathing and stamina need to improve a lot , have not been able to hold a speed of 10 for minute and had to go as low as 5. Good news is that the body is getting used to it and so pushing is becoming a bit easier, maybe will be able to do a 5 km run before the end of this month 

So it begins, again!

At 74+ kgs and 6 years older I start on the journey to fitness again. Started on the same treadmill slowly hitting a maximum speed of 8.2 and going as low as 4.2. The left leg felt flat footed and ankle can give some prolonged pain as I plodded for half an hour. took me 29 mins to do 3 kms by that reckoning will take me about 7 hrs to complete a marathon. My goal this time is to do a sub-5 hr full marathon in Jan 2015. Should be able to do a half marathon in 2 hrs by June.
