The bottom line for me is that regular exercise is good as long as you don't introduce stress. That's why I like walking and I can tell you that on the way up to Letcliffe (a good climb) I haven't enough breath to talk to anyone! It really gets your heart and lungs working.

As I walk well over 5km twice a week and swim etc as well I am not worried about the ability to walk Race for Life, I am worried about the impact on my back and feet , if I jog also i need to train for that

Quite right, you didn't need Tizer, Sue knows her onions! As a footnote to Sue's exposition, when you burn wood in your stove or sugar in your body cells, efficient combustion results in only the final products, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. Inefficient combustion of the wood due to lack of oxygen leaves partly-burned products such as soot, tar and charcoal . Likewise, the lactic acid Sue refers to is the body's equivalent of these. In the strict sense it is a poison, albeit a very weak one, and the body needs to get rid of it so that your muscels can get on with the job.
In the middle of writing the above a courier arrived with a delivery of books for us. About 250 thick textbooks in boxes of 12 to be carried into the house. So now I'm sitting here poisoned by lactic acid, and with aching muscles. How appropriate!

I'd do the weight training Sue but they don't have anything I can lift!
If he's the stove expert, I'll bet you're the stove driver Belle!

Spoken to GP he says go ahead if we are asymptomatic at the time but get some proper shoes. All things considered its going to be an expensive do , entry, plus shoes, then getting to the venue and parking .We would also have to find sponsors , not always easy. Claire and I have decided to do our own challenge, a walk much longer than normal and donate at least what we would have paid out. Admittedly we are both rather apprehensive about our back problems but know we can walk

I have felt much better walking around for twenty minutes each day and sleeping better also.

Exactly . We don't know how the jogging will affect us but we do know we can walk and already have the correct gear . I thought we could make a day of it , have a picnic , have some mother and daughter time!!!!!!

Peter, you should have made Janet carry them all!
Funnily enough I heard a prog on R4 this week about the way muscles work and the lady doctor was brilliant. She confirmed all I have found out about exercise and the advantages of the 'slow burn'. In another prog (Woman's Hour) there was also a lady who was very sound on cholesterol as well. Nice to know some doctors are keepeing up with the latest research. Her basic massage was that eating cholesterol was not the same thing as having bad cholesterol in your body so get scrambling the eggs!

Had to go back to page 15 to find any art, but I have read with interest all comments since.
Excercise....oh lord, I have walked miles (!) up hill and down dale in the past few weeks. Nothing new there - we walk a lot.
What really struck me though, is that my husband (who is ten years my senior and has had triple heart bypass) strode up those mountains easy peasy. There I was, time after time, struggling to keep up the jaunty pace and lagging several metres behind, all the time wondering 'how the hell does he do it?'. It doesn't seem right somehow.

"...eating cholesterol was not the same thing as having bad cholesterol in your body so get scrambling the eggs!"
The cholesterol in your diet gets absorbed into the bloodstream and depresses the choleserol synthesis in the liver, so it's a feedback mechanism for keeping the level of essential cholesterol constant in your body. People with familial hypercholesterolaemia (genetically high blood cholesterol level) have extremely large amounts of cholesterol in their blood and it is they who must be careful about eating cholesterol-rich foods.

I have Hypercholestrolaemia. (mostly an over-abundance of good cholestrol in my case). My last test results were very pleasing though...I am back in the normal range after many years of being elevated.
