Guest Nev Report post Posted October 21, 2014 just completed the first day of this app, read about it on forums and thought I'd give it a try. First day wasn't too bad, my legs aren't the slightest bit tired but my breathing was pretty laboured, putting that down to driving most places for the past 8 years...but recently have a damaged lung and have been advised to try running to increase capacity again..so wether I'll be running 10k in how ever many weeks or not I'm looking forward to finding out! 1 brad619 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmgirl 13 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Congratulations on beginning the program! There have lots of great articles posted regarding breathing advice when running that you should definitely check out. I'm no stranger to labored breathing as a former smoker but with concentration and learning to breathe from my belly and not my chest I've noticed a BIG difference and I'm sure that this will help you out too! Happy Running Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nev Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks absolutely dying to get out and run it again today. I know well the body needs time to repair but I just can't wait until Wednesday to get back out there, and with no tiredness in my legs and an abundance of energy since yesterday I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the heads up on the breathing threads, I'll have a quick peek. How far are you into the program? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Chad Lyon Report post Posted October 21, 2014 CHey Nev glad you got started. Injuries happen quick if we over do it. Last year I developed heal spurs am I was not feeling any pain then one day they instant pain and it took several months to heal. Just try to let your body heal even if not in pain. Good running :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nev Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Oh really? What are heal Spurs? Well I might just leave it for today then.. Probably get on the bike or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyAnn 281 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Hi Nev, I just posted in your other topic. i love doing this form of breathing technique, it might help increase capacity. I actually do this 2 times a day, If I remember. Breathe deep, through your diaphragm, hold, hold, let out. Fill your lungs to capacity. Here is something I have been doing off and on for years. At first you might feel a little dizzy, but it gets better.. I love Oxycise... Happy Running! http://www.oxycise.com/whatis.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nev Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks for that, I'll take any advice at the minute, it's the only reservation I have about completing this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Report post Posted October 21, 2014 I finished day two week one and I feel good but wondering whr I'm getting pains in front of my legs. I have good shoes Any help woul be appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 4 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 I've just finished day 2 myself, glad to have someone at my point!. Well,from what I've read on forums and such could be shin splints? (Could) I'm no expert, but is certainly in the right part of the leg. Could be from a number of things. Uneven running surfaces? The way you are landing on your feet, you want to be landing midfoot, and not on the balls of your feet. Urm some also have mentioned streching before and after running helps it..that's all I know off the top of my head. I'm sure others will have some advice for you. Hope it's nothing too long term though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nev 4 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 I've just ran w1d3 today(3rd day in a row) so I think I'll rest tomorrow and run d3 again Friday just because of the improvement I've noticed in 3 days, my speed has increased a touch and my breathing has come on in leaps and bounds! Just can't get enough of it! Bring on Friday!! 1 KellyAnn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Braeden Report post Posted October 22, 2014 At 15 years old and 5'11," my weight maxed at 210 pounds. Now, however, with a good diet, I've gotten down to 178. I have just finished my first day and am, hopefully, on my way to gaining that cardio that I've always dreamt of. Best wishes, everyone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
