Mukul Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hello there, I am Mukul from India. I've never been a runner in my life, had a certain phobia for it although I did play sports as a kid but never really into running. Now I'm 33 and weigh above a 100 kgs, though I'm above six feet in height. I desperately want to lose weight around my stomach as I do not want to end up being a bp/diabeties patient ever. This is why I downloaded this app about a month ago and I'm so v glad I did. Today iv entered into my 4th week, day 1 and every new week iv surprised myself with the way I've stepped up. Now I'm all excited to keep going and become a 5k runner. In fact now I've pushed my wife into it and she's about to complete her first week. Cheers!

Mukul Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks so much for your encouraging words. I feel I'm running better than I used to. I read up about the proper form on the internet, which surely helped. As for speed, honestly I'm not targeting a faster run but on being steady and completing the run. I run at around 5-6 km per hour, sometimes peaking to 8. I don't know if that's fast enough but it surely feels good to me. My calves and thighs have become stronger and shaped up and I feel a stronger runner than I was before I started. Overall I feel I'm progressing and that's good for me. As for my wife, we don't run together but on alternate days. This is because we are 3 weeks apart in the schedule. She runs and I do my yoga and vice versa. Only when she begins to feel she can't run anymore I start running with her to egg her on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
