RUNNING!

Here is some information from the AusRun website about training to become a runner (which is one of my goals)... I figure I need to do this properly rather than injuring myself by pushing too hard too fast!!

Starting Out
Training tips to go :If you’re just beginning a fitness program, the best and most effective way to start is through walking. Continuous walking will slowly prepare your legs for the upcoming stages and will also help you develop a consistent daily routine. Check the appropriate box after each day’s activity.Once you’ve progressed to Day 7, you may decide to jog every fourth minute, but do not jog for longer than one minute.
