This morning, at about 6.30, I went running. It was the first real cardiovascular exercise I've had in nearly 6 months.
Oh my god, you get unfit really quickly!
After 4 minutes I started to feel sick. After 5 it was gone again. On the home stretch, 20 minutes in, it came back and I really thought I was going to puke.
And my legs have felt feeble and weak all day.
How long does it take to get back into shape?
I'd guess I was going 8-10 mph (though I'm really not sure), for 20 minutes.
To be fair, most of it didn't hurt (or make me fear for my stomach lining), but I used to be much fitter than this!
Still, I feel great for having done it.
Not sure whether I could keep up the early mornings though - but even in nice areas I've found that you can expect to get crap from random a**holes when you go running. Where I live now you're just asking for trouble.
To be fair, it probably wouldn't be the kind of crap mentioned in my other thread ('How far...') - well, at least that'd probably be rare.
But it's not nice to deal with any of that sort of stuff, and I'd much rather avoid it.
And I'm a poor student, so no gym for me either.
Thinking about it, it's really messed up when you can't go running in any populated area without expecting to get crap from strangers.
Are there any nice areas of the UK, where you can expect everyone will at least treat people with respect?
Anyway, got off topic a bit. How long does it take to get back to non-puking levels of fitness?

My arms are like twigs though, which I don't quite get.
Yeah, I lost a stone with 2 month exercising.
I've been a lazy pie for a month and haven't put any on. If I started exercising again I could waste away.

I now work for LA Fitness at one of their gyms, which means I get free use of something that costs other people 50 quid a month.

Weighed myself the other day - 13 stone. Jesus, I swear I was only 12 last time I checked a few months back. Oh well - Summer means football, and I might get a chance to take up badminton again. And I'm using those big scissor things with springs on to tone my chest up a bit. 100 in the morning and the same at night does the trick. I'm quite naturally athletically built though, and have a high metabolism, so I'm quite lucky really.
I just don't have the time... well I do sometimes but not this week.
I need to fit a good few hours of playing games, watching films and staying in bed.

I was in shape after 2 months of the gym then I got too busy and now I can't be bothered going.
I've got 3 months in the Summer to build myself up again. I just hate the pain :(

I'm an unfit teenager yet i'm still one of the lanky kids with no weight even though all I do is relax eat nachos and watch daytime tv.
I used to have one, but it overloaded and broke when I ran past the park :^(
Get one of those paedophileometers you can clip on your waist.
