I second this. I hate running, im bad at running, but every athlete can run. Humans were born to run. It's a fundamental physical skill. I'm not talking marathons, but if you can't run a few miles, you aren't ever going to be fit -- aim toward that goal. No excuses -- if you want to be healthy, become physically well…
tnx 5k is great :) try to strive for that distance in your next runs and before you know it you'll run it with ease. But do make sure that discomfort doesn't turn in actual pain because you wouldn't want to be out of it due to a strained muscles or something.
yeah I see what you're saying, but running can be the first step towards that, because generally the more you run, the more healthy and physically fit you get overall, which in turn will allow you to workout harder. just my two cents

Time for another update Week 7: 33pounds (15kg down) I did two 10 km runs this week with 2 smaller 5 km ones in between and i thought to myself would i be able to do a 20 km run. Well yesterday evening i ran 20km (12.42 miles) in 2 hours :D. It's pretty fun to not have it all be about losing the weight but also kind of…
My wife and I take a "boot camp" class at our local gym that runs for 6 weeks at a time (3 days a week). It's a ton of body weight stuff, endless running, TRX bands, etc. Last session I lost 11 pounds and this time I'm tracking to lose about 8. So, down to 229-ish now and really happy with the results! If I can reach the…
I'm starting to get a beer belly and man boobs, was always fairly scrawny until I hit 26, need to start running. Still, the London underground makes me sweat.
