Just ran a good mile after not running AT ALL for about 3-4 months. Holy chirst. I nearly died. Advice?
Get a heavy bag indoors, I have two holes drilled in my ceiling on either side of one the roof supports with a climbing rope looped over the top and a carabina to attach the bag to, this way it's never too cold to do a bit of a work out!:good
I just went for a run, was about 30 mins long. Each time I go it gets longer so its just a matter of doing it as much as possible. The fitness will come.
When coming back after a layoff, it's REALLY important to come back VERY SLOWLY. You're body is telling you, "hold on *****... maybe you're ready to plow down 10 miles, but I ain't..." The body has de-conditioned so now you gotta re-condition it like how you would when first starting out. Fortunately, it takes a lot less time time to get back into shape since the underlying network of neural pathways and capillaries is already there and just needs to be re-activated instead of building new ones.
Sadly, the body begins losing its conditioning after about a week of inactivity, so you have a ways to go to get your schwerve back. As mentioned, just come back bit by bit. Don't try to get it back all at once.
Alright thanks a lot everyone time to get out and run I also have a speed rope which I think I'll give a try.
