first time runner
Went for my fourth run today of about 7 - 8 miles. Great day for it too
It is definately a lot easier and i'm getting familiar with the routine so it doesn't seem to take as long which is even better!

I think schools have to teach us things that are true, but mind you I'm not sure on that
Lactic acid is a bi-product of respiration which occurs in microcellular organisms called Mitochondria. It will not be produced if oxygen is present in the cell.
If it is not oxidised by oxygen then it becomes toxic and hence painful. As you exercise, your lungs and cardiovascular system become more efficent, allowing more gas transfer (CO2 out of blood, O2 into blood) and hence more oxygen to your cells. More oxygen, less lactic acid, less toxicity, less pain, more exercise. As your exercise increases so does your lactic limit.
Many people think cardiovascular exercise is about muscles, it is actually about your lungs and your heart.

I can tie my own shoe laces, cut up my fish fingers my very self and even wipe my own sh!tty botty after doing a whoopsy thank you very much, mind you I normally have to wash it afterwards.
No, seriously, I'm glad I did it...

I was actually going to write a serious reply but couldn't resist.letsrole wrote:We dont get taught that in our PE lessons, we are missing out by the sounds
I did do A level PE and I agree with your commments. The syllabus contains plenty of sports science and even enters into the forbidden realm of biology so was plenty deep enough to cover energy systems and the like.

Re: first time runner
Jarhead, It has nothing to do with your swimming at all. If your as good as a swimmer as you say you are you will have a bigger lung capacity then most people who are just getting into running. I used to train 20hours a week in the pool. And I actually found my swimming helped me with my running.jarhead wrote:ok basicaly i dint to to well on prmc due to my running( never done it befor due to swimming for a club)
now i want to do my prmc and i bielive i am a bad runner, i think its to do with breathing different to swimming.
now basicaly i need help with a running program also is it possible to do within 2 months to be able to pass prmc 3 miler?
hope this makes sense any routines you find helpful ect welcome
Obviously everyone finds running difficult when they start like any sport. You just need to get into your running, and following sarcastos advice will do you well. Ive trained with Dalton Grant before(Can jump pretty high ) and he gave me a tip to breath through your nose. Don't know if that will help you?
With your swimming training behind you[The hardest sports training in the world(If you disagree prove me wrong)] you will without doubt have the fitness. Just get into your running training and you will be fine mate.
Best of luck

I used to do that distance, but take my word for it, it is not enough to pass the course, simply because it is comfort pace and not working the heart as much, my comfort pace is 7 min miles. Breathing is slow and not fast but combined with some sprinting it gets the lungs going.
THinking about leaving already!
