@Mat I was reading that the other day after Dad mentioned that you might be doing it.

I would love to be able to do that – but my shoulders are totally screwed after over doing it when I played Dodgeball. I bet I can’t even manage one pushup!

Thanks matey! You are part of my inspiration too (apart from Jesus, Yoda and Steve Jobs)…

Any tips you can pass on to a “Running Padawan”?

I am indeed back on my bike on days where god hasn’t left the shower on, so not many in the last couple of weeks, but it’s a start. I’m also back playing football once a week which is leaving me knackered, and a lack of warm-up last week meant the agony of a pulled muscle but as it’s something I enjoy (the footie not the agony) I have the incentive to continue.
This running malarkey has certainly piqued my interest though and I may have a closer look at Damo’s program, especially if it’s an excuse to buy some new stuff!
PS: I quite enjoyed the film “Run, Fat Boy, Run”. I am a sucker for a rom-com though.

I think it’s fab you are both out in the real world exercising, and not simply “thumbing” your lives away on some games controller.
I nearly fell off my chair today, as fat boy Rob commuted in to work on his bike!

If you are running, then the best proper running shoes are a must. Tracey has been walking the 3 miles a day to work for 2 years now, and she now has Plantar Fasciitis. Cause? Shit footware. She has just had to shell out £70 on some proper gel running shoes, and will need to wear a foot splint to sleep in to hopefully cure it.

I used to run on the treadmill in the Gym at work without many issues.

The first time I did I ran a mile easily – and worked up to running 3 miles once too. When I went out into the real world I failed miserably and was limping back within 5 mins.

This time I am sticking with the outdoors seeing as I don’t have access to a Gym. Running on the treadmill will be good practice and build up your stamina though.
