    I started running about a year ago. Never been an athlete, well into life at 70 years of age. I'm still not sure I really like running, but I do it. After a hamstring injury last Fall, I had to back off for a while. It was like withdrawal, and I felt terrible. I walked instead. After some weeks of recovery, I started running again. That's when it dawned on me-- I have become a runner. Still not fast, probably never will be fast. But I run, pretty much every damned day.

      Valbona Ajdini I’m turning 70 in a few days. Never been athletic. I don’t run fast, but I run persistently.
      Be incremental, let your body adapt to running. Focus on good form. When my lungs feel tired I put my attention on my legs, making them work. My heart and lungs will work harder and complain, but they get stronger every day.
      Be patient and don’t give up. But don’t push so hard you injure yourself.

    I walked for an hour every day for 2 months. Along with cutting out sugar and processed food, I lost 30 pounds. I don’t walk as much, only 1-2 days a week now, but I still eat right. I’ve been able to lose another 10 pounds and keep it off for a year. I went from a 42 waist to 38, which are loose on me.

    Kudos to you for doing this and documenting it, especially because you didn't complete your goal. It's important to acknowledge that.
    I'm sure others have point this out, but when it comes to running as a new runner, you really want to do no more than 2-3 runs per week (even short ones) to build up your body to the pressures of running. You can be in excellent shape otherwise, but running puts different strains on your body. You can build in more runs as you get stronger, but definitely leave a day in the week for active recovery (yoga, walking, etc.). Also ice baths, massage, and foam rolling help aid the healing, process. This will also help with the burnout.

    Well done !!! Completing 22 days out of 30 is still amazing for a first time runner, especially with the miles covered and pace. This is a great start to a long journey. I have to say what you did was absolutely crazy, I said stop so many times as i was watching. Pushing your body is great, but without rest/recovery you will end up with injury, even the strongest runners would find this difficult.
    Remember if you still want to do excersise but give your legs a break, there is the upper body that needs attention to and always give yourself 2/3 rest days.
    Best advice is listen to your body, you know yourself when it is doing more damage than good, so just go with your gut.
    Great video!!! Keep running!!!😌

      @@theItalianshamrock for me...it usually happens after like mile 2. The first 2 miles are treacherous, legs hurt, I have a hard time getting warmed up, my breathing sucks and i kinda want to stop.
      After around mile 2-3, my momentum is full throttle, my legs are fully warm, my breathing has stabilized, my form is better. But the most beautiful part is...I become completely relaxed, that treacherous feeling is now gone, the scenery is beautiful, I feel good, my thoughts are clear and I just want to run. I feel very free. I think its partly because running is one of our most primal movements and its something that we probably dont do as much as our ancient ancestors did.

    Watching this as a runner, it was extremely obvious you should’ve rested at least once a week. You were verbally/unconsciously saying on days 7, 14, and 21 that you were exhausted or in pain. You could’ve planned to rest on day 7, 14 &21 and maybe even one or two more days (like day 28) and you would’ve avoided burnout and injury. Good job either way because you saw the beauty in running and that counts. If you’re still running, Good luck and don’t give up !

    Really enjoyed the video, well done James!! To go from doing very little running, to 30 minutes a day for 22 days is amazing I really take my hat off to you. Great effort!
    I think the fact you started to see some of the well-being benefits of exercise is what it is all about that is for sure! :) For me I find that Mountain Biking is what helps me switch off and relax, like a re-set button when things are busy and life gets on top of you! And it is great exercise! I would really recommend it.....Also, generally you do it in places where there have been loads of wild cat sightings around the UK! So, you could bring the two hobbies together!
    I once saw a full size Stag in Afan Forest in South Wales when out biking, it was epic!!.....A bit close for comfort, but epic none the less! You never know, the MTB community could be a good place to ask around for sightings of wild cats?!

      You're absolutely right though, some of those guys might have seen some things

    Good on you, man. Solid effort. Just as a tip, perhaps you ought to have started a bit more gradually in terms of the intensity of your running sessions. So like, running with regular walking rests in between. But, I suppose there's no better teacher than hindsight.

    Hey man I had a similar journey.
    I weighed 140kg when I started running.
    My first 5km took me 40+ minutes after about 3 months of training on the couch to 5k app.
    I will say that I took my rest days as they're definitely needed as I'm sure you know.
    About a year in combined with little to know diet regime I had lost about 2kg which almost made me give up.
    About a year ago I started the keto diet with the running and a small bit of weights etc.
    I now weigh 97 kg.
    I can run a 5 k in about 23 minutes and can honestly say that it's the best form of meditation I've found.
    Getting into a rhythm of running 3 times a week is a game changer.
    Listening to your body is key so you were right to stop.
    Sorry about your dog hope it was peaceful for him/her

    I had to stop running years ago due to Achilles pain. I started again in January but this time I got my gait checked at a running shop so bought the correct trainers for me. I’m now 4 months in with no ankle pain amd im running further and faster then ever before.

    Thank u for sharing ur experience bro. As a BEGINNER EXERCISER, it is a DEFINITE 'No, No', To RUN EVERYDAY for 30 minutes duration, for 30 days! What is the HURRY?
    START SLOWLY!! Start with casual WALKING for 30 minutes, n DON'T WORRY about SPEED of completion. When u get aches in the leg muscles, gv urself a day or two of REST.
    If on the third day, u STILL feel the aches, take ANOTHER day of rest. Then when u hv no more painful aches (i.e. ur leg muscles had STRENGTHENED), do casual walking (pace).
    As u improve (strengthened) over time, progress to BRISK WALKING (pace) for 30 minutes, n when u hv improved on stamina AND leg strength, progress to (slow) JOGGING (pace). This way, ur excess body weight loss is gradual, ur fitness improvement is gradual, n u STAY MOTIVATED LONGER in doing JOGGING.
    NO NEED To progress to FAST RUNNING!!! - who r u TRYING To impress with FAST RUNNING? IMPROVE AT ur own pace n time. The KEY to focus on is HAVING FUN (i.e. ENJOY urself) in being ACTIVE (n sweating out) outdoor.

  • @cliveonions7232
    @cliveonions7232 4 роки тому +8

    Great vlog, I’d suggest when recovered fully that you just mix it up, rather than just running do run,walk or run one day, swim the next or get a bike. Doing 30 days solid from virtually zero is always going to be tough on the body. Personally you made right decision to stop as you had already pushed the limit. Not worth causing long term injury.
    You now know the enjoyment from being outdoors so even if run twice a week still better than nothing.
    Good on ya 👍🏼

    I've seen people go run in so many ways but damn I'm struggling (with rest days) your video reminds me, don't give up, we all have our own limits and my rest days are vital.

  • @s3kat04
    @s3kat04 4 роки тому +8

    It’s like I would watching my self summer 2019 I was 105kg / 180cm and I said to my self that I have to do something with that. I start running 2-3 runs / week. 3k run around 25-30 min and on beginning I was stopping up to 5 times. Took me 1 mouth to make finally 3k without stop. Around September I increased distance to 5k and I convinced my wife to start running with me. Later I have also find friend in work who was also running. And that was golden shot. From October I was already weighing around 95-97 kg with no diet change. We start practice runs for 1 January race over mountains (9k). After I have finished it I felt that I can accomplish anything. From January I was 94kg start diet and practice to half marathon. Weekly runs up to total of 40k a week still in 3 days ( Wednesday 10k / Friday 10k / Sunday 20k ). Today I’m weighing 83kg my 21k best time is now 1:52h and 10k 49:53m. Official half marathon is in 3 weeks from now. I think u put yourself a bar to high. As someone who never run before running every day it’s a killer for your muscles. On beginning your body need to learn how to recover faster from running and u where not giving it time to learn and that’s why u failed. And finally find some one to run with u. Running alone is very boring. U don’t need to run fast at the beginning. Just run with friend at speed that u can talk with him and talking will not take your breath away. Usually it’s around your 75% of your maximum BPM. 220- your age and then 75%. Get watch to monitor that. And u will see that running can be fun.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm starting jogging again, and loved watching this. Honestly, ur face looked so much healthier on day 22 as compared to day 1. Your face looked leaner, tanner, and healthier. I think it truly paid off. I hope u keep it up, though not everyday, just a few times per week with rest days in between. I hope you get some muscle wraps and stuff too. I've never used any myself, I know nothing lol, but when I was running a couple of years back I tore something in my leg and just couldn't run again for weeks. My bf told me to get some kind of wrap. I never did. I just quit running. But I'm starting again. Anyways! I wish u the very best of luck. Keep doing it. Wishing u all the best!! -Lynn

    Result? Leaner,meaner,lighter,more endurance, stronger,FASTER, mentally tougher& I broke my 7 mile record 3 times-twice in last 10 days!

  • @SuperEklund
    @SuperEklund 4 роки тому +46

    As a periodic runner who has been struggling with achilles pain for years i can relate, a smart move for you would be to start running 3 times a week, start easy and gradually build with max 10% increase in length/time per week. implement strength training (calf raises to build the achilles tendon). i really applaud the effort but the challenge is just to hard on your body. Nice work, do it again but with a better run/recovery ratio.

I know professionals say different, But I like it when ppl defy the odds..... C E Fletcher was told to stop lifting but look at him today. Beast mode.......I do what others say can’t be done. Like two a days for years. I’ve died three times, and not from working out, lol! Matter fact I like to think it’s what gives me the edge.... Keep pushing don’t stop you got this.
