Running

This is what I'm currently doing. I'm also resisting the urge to take my garmin or watch as at the moment I really don't need the data. I'm just viewing this as getting healthier without pushing myself.

Ah- no, I knew there was something I wished I'd said when we talked about this.

I was having real trouble extending my runs- until I had a chat with Hatbeard and he recommended using the pace function on my Garmin.

I set it to beep if I strayed from nine minute miles, and went out and ran further than I'd ever run.

Reason being previously I'd gone out too fast, and knackered myself out.

Having the watch beep at me made me run at a pace that I could actually maintain.

So- maybe use your gadget to suggest a nice easy pace at first?

Otherwise your natural tendancy to leg it like your arse is on fire might come to the fore.
