In the beginning it’s all about building up some level of fitness

Maybe try slow jogging for 1 min and walk for 1 min.
Repeat 10 times

Then try and extend the slow jogs
Jog for 2/4/6 mins and walk for 1 min
Repeat

Once you get comfortable doing longer jogs you can start looking at distances and see if you can do 2k, 3k, 4K etc 

Next thing you know you will be a park run c**t posting up here your times and how many you have done!!




 
This is lterally what the couch to 5k app does. it doesn't measure anything except give you a time to run for and times to walk and a bit of encouragement. I downloaded strava to check I had done 5k once I got week 7

Did my first ever 10k tonight. Did my best 5k so far 29.20 and thought I'd try to keep going. Took over an hour but seeing as 5 weeks ago I couldn't run for 8 minutes straight I feel really happy.

Myabe you're starting off too hard then it's taking a bit of time to recover and get back to a steady pace after that?

I always try take it easy for the first km to get my breathing right and kick on a bit then. If I fly out the traps from the start I'm gassed for the whole run

Think the same approach to a drinking session is a good idea too.

That might be it. I might try take it a little bit easier when I start off. Thanks

I could easily drink 4/5 pints in an hour. Completely unsustainable.

Find it hard to pace myself drinking stout as it's just so tasty.

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Injured my calf while on a run about 4 weeks ago, so have had to scale back the running a bit. In the last week it isn't as sore but i'm just taking it slower now. Was averaging about 7 and a half minute miles before the injury but somewhere between 8.5 and 9 now. Would rather get out and get something done even if its at a slow pace than become an even fatter bastard and do nothing, but at the same time feel if I run any faster it'll go again

Put a heal raise in your shoe, this will take the immediate strain off the calf. A piece of cardboard will do the trick.
