"Exercise!"

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?

I wasn't moaning Stryke

Honest

*sock in each hand*

1....2.....threeeeeee....Ah, that'll do.

I nearly packed my gym stuff today.

Too tired though.
Won't get home till near 5 anyway.

Heh, I think I'll keep my money as far away from those kinds of sites as possible.

Maybe when I have money I'll play for money.

I play for fun at the moment which is a shame considering i've won 3 out of 5 this week so it doesn't cost me anything, as it's an american site everything is in $, i think you can play with a $50 buy in or $10 but there are other sites that are cheaper.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience. How much does it usually cost you (or do you finish ahead)?

It's quite easy to get into as long as you dont try bluffing because it doesn't work.
