Could i get ill if i ran / brisk walked 8 miles a day

[Richie]

hey,
I'm unfit but my question is if i walked / ran 8miles a day could i die "/ like monday to friday 8miles each day.


8 x 5 = 40Miles a week


I wana get fit but the whole point of it is too get fit rather than get ill lol, any ideas of how i could break it down etc?

[Monopoly]

you'll feel ill doing it. ;p
but i don't think it'll cause any serious health problems.
unless you're obese or somethingg.

If that was the case people training for olympics would be dead, just don't push yourself too much as young people aren't mean to be doing too much, you're only meant to do 30 minutes of excersize a day and 10,000 steps I think, so yeah.

Nah I walk about 5 miles most days anyway and I feel fine. Although, I suppose it depends on the person and what their body can take.

Richie i've told you this before.
You need to start slowly
then slowly progress like one week you do like 2 miles a day the next week 3 miles a day ect. This will help you become fitter without you becoming ill

Very much agree with SamLouise. You need to start off slowly to build your stamina up. If you try to do it all at once you will probably fail through lack of fitness and just give up.

Agreed ! You can't go straight into something at a high level unless you feel like you can do it. 8 miles is okay as a one off but not everyday. If you start off slowly you will gain more and over time you'll be able to run longer distances just give it time

if your body can handle it, you'll need to make sure you get all the carbs and stuff right beforehand

Carbs are a slow release of energy these include things like rice, pasta and potatos ! You should eat them around an hour before not right before hand because its bad to do exercise on a full stomach

i didn't mean "right beforehand" as in immediately before he goes

i meant he needs to get his intake of carbs and stuff right (as in correct), before he goes out for a run.
