country_girl Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've tried other apps in the past, and just jogging on my own, but every time the same thing stops me. I notice that my "jogging" is slower than my "walking" and I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. If I speed up, I almost instantly become tired. If I continue at my slow hop/walk/jog pace, I lose almost all my motivation because I get so self-conscious. I don't know if i'm just out of shape or what. Any suggestions?

Teridox Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hi country_girl, I have the same problem. I walk really fast and no way I can jog that fast. I've been walking 4-6 miles daily, but now that I started the running program I'm only going 2 miles on the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hey all, you are doing just fine if you are walking fast too. You are moving and that is what matters, I walk, run.. Proud of ya all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axegrinder72 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I read the book "Chi Running" and it taught me to run in a controlled fall. Instead of focusing on the push of your toes to propel you, lean forward and focus on the lifting of your leg to get in front of you so you don't fall on your face. I over simplified it but that's pretty much how they say is the correct way to run effortlessly. It's a decent read and not too expensive as an apple bookstore book.

Kevin F Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Chi Running is a great book that I had forgotten about, thanks for the reminder. My advice is to forget about time and speed and just dial in to a comfortable pace and just go. I am not there yet but I have been there in the past. When you get to a point where you can lace up the shoes and hit the pavement for 30,40 or 60 minutes, then you can start to worry about pace. Until then, try to enjoy the process of getting it done. If you focus on speed before the endurance you are likely to get injured. Enjoy! Just finished week 2 day 1 and I can feel my "wind" coming back. It's not as easy yet as it once was but someday it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
