Jayde88 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hey all! Im new to this running thing. Recently had so skin taken away and can now run without a round of applause from my tummy! So I feel I am pretty fit, always smashed my cardio component in workouts and struggled with strength based excersise. The first week has been a breeze in this app. However, i started week2 this week, and I really felt quite unfit! My legs felt like they wouldn't run like i wanted them to and was puffed out super quick. Lead legs and puffed lung with only and extra 30 seconds of jogging. I have been walking every other day inbetween doing the running. Did anyone else find this stage a big step Ruthie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthie Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I think I found all stage a big step till the end of week 5. Just getting of my butt to run was huge, the second week was a bit scary too. The more experienced running here say it's best to give your legs rest day before running days, so don't walk to strenuously. Not that I did, but its better to do some form of strength training on the off days. That way your muscles can keep up with you...

Jayde88 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have also noticed that my heart rate while I am sleeping has dropped to like 42bpm. Is this normal? Im overweight but have moderate fitness. My heart rate fluctuates between 54-60 bpm while at rest (sitting) but 42? Seems super low! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi Jayde. Wow. 42 does sound low. You should definitely see a doctor about that. I am not a Dr but when i was in the best shape of my life, mine was 65 amd that is low. Be careful with that and get it checked out ok. Let me know. Hugs.
