Good news Flutters, there's nothing like fresh air and exercise to reinforce a feeling of well-being!

That's the way Flutters. I have this touchingly naive belief that regular exercise cures just about everything! Do a bit more each day. I had one friend who started by doing two front gardens on her street and gradually increased the number she walked past till she got fed up of counting and has never stopped walking since.

Funny...I once was a jogger, and i began by the old scout method of walking six steps running six (could be ten can't remember!) and soon i was running two miles every morning come, rain, hail or snow. it took me just under half an hour and was great for weight loss, but i overstretched myself on a half marathon rather too soon, thought to myself the next morning.."Have a rest today, you earned it!" and I never jogged again!!

Keep up the good work, Flutters, a little bit more exercise everyday regardless of what it is works wonders...

Belle can you remeber how long it took to build up to two miles. Claire and I were thinking of doing the race for life, and were going to use that method to train . We are both abit apprehensive, although we are serious walkers , there is alot of difference between walking and jogging.

I don't think it took more than a couple of weeks.. running and jogging are different, the rule with jogging is that if you can't hold a conversation because of breathlessness you are running too fast and need to slow down! So in some ways it is more like walking than you think.. my best advice would be to get the best shoes you can afford, very important and there are lots of good specialist shops that will take time to look at how your feet hit the ground etc before advising which shoe would be best, and the other piece of advice is STAY OFF HARD GROUND! otherwise your knees won't last five minutes! You may have no choice when running an actual marathon as they are all on roads, this where the shoes are so important, but training on softer ground at least stops the knees form getting premenantly bashed!

Thanks for the advice. We still need to check with our GP to see if our backs are up to it.
Otherwise we will walk the Race for life

Walk it Sue, far less damaging than jogging and more effective at burning fat. Jogging takes the energy too quickly for it to be fuelled by fat and uses sugar and carbohydrate. Plenty of studies have confirmed this.

Stanley, I think that's where the being able to breath comes in .. you need oxygen to burn off fat, and if you jog too quickly the effects, as you say, are negligible, however if you jog slowly enough to breath properly it burns off fat just as walkin gdoes.. TIZER.....come and sort me out, have I got this right? Either way, the knees will thank you for walking rather than jogging!

You need oxygen , full stop . Without oxygen respiration is described as anaerobic and the human body cannot function long on that, so jogging running or walking you need to get the oxygen . Fat or carbohydrate burning you need the oxygen. Normally the body will use its carbohydrate stores first . First that in the blood and then the stores of glycogen in the liver and the muscles. This will keep you going for sometime. Only after these easily released stores are used is the fat released in any quantities.
I think the talking bit is a control of how much oxygen you are getting , ie how deep you can breathe and successfully ventilate the body systems. If the body goes into anaerobic respiration you produce lactic acid. This has two major effects . One you will get cramp from the build up of acidity in the muscles as the muscles unable to contract . Secondly the build up of acidity will automatically make you breathe faster and deeper to get rid of the acidity , by the production of Carbon dioxide. ie you start to pant and cannot conduct a conversation properly
Correct training over time enables the body to produce lower levels of lactic acid . This is because muscles build up . Muscle contain the protein myoglobin . Myoglobin holds oxygen for longer periods of time in than haemoglobin . The oxygen is therefore used up/ released more slowly. Myoglobin works as the levels of oxygen in haemoglobin atrts to lower Thus less lactic acid is produced in the muscle. Less cramp and more regular breathing is maintained
I hope rembered it all correctly , its along time since I taught that
