2012 - A New Beginning

Razzen · 2011-12-31 16:56:45

Finally calling an end to old habits, and starting my new life. My first training log so hopefully I'll stay motivated to make it through the year and turn my life around. I don't normally do any training so anything extra is a step in the right direction. I'm 165 (5'6") and 88kg (13st 12lb). Happy new year and Good luck…

Have you thought about trying a couch25k plan, timing it so it ends with the OT run, rather than going out to run two miles every two days?

Best of luck with this,i was a fresher last year and it is only now running is starting to get really enjoyable so stick with it even when the pain and the hurt muscles are begging you to stop!!...

P.S...........best advice,buy a foam roller and get to know it well....
