Running,

[iBlueBox]

right because uni's finished i've got in a bad habit of sitting around all day doing nothing

so I'm thinking of taking up running just to improve my health, theres a nice park just up the road from me so that'll be a nice place to start just wondering though


whats the perfect time of day to go running?

first thing in morning

yeh i think in the morning, before anyone has woken up
gives you a fresh start to the day

[iBlueBox]

ye i was thinking in the morning of awaking at 5am and setting of like 5;20 and being back for like 6;20

also do people get get a shower before they run as well as my hair always feels horrible when i wake up

[kitten]

i'd shower after runs just because ur all sweaty and ew

[lemons]

in the morning when the sky is blue and the sun is rising and the birds are singing

[MKR&*42]

early morning nd yeah shower after cause of the sweat, not before x]

[iBlueBox]

ye i was going to show after as well,

makes sense though no point showerng before as well as ill still get sweaty

If you haven't run long-distance regularly before I'd suggest doing C25k. Nine weeks and you'll go from nothing to being able to run 5k comfortably. The NHS podcasts are free and there are a tonne of apps as well.

I did it ~2 years ago and it worked exactly as described. At no point in those 9 weeks did I think there was a run that I wasn't fit enough to do and I was legitimately unfit at the beginning. Probably the best part is the short-term goal aspect of it. Literally every week you see the improvement you're making.

Also buy a proper pair of running shoes and run on grass if possible over concrete / tarmac: your body will thank you.

I am not a morning person at all so evenings for me.
