Previously, my only exercise was arm ache on a Friday and Saturday night. I ve tried to stay within the confines of a very, very, very loose fitness programme with minimal pain. So I have concentrated on getting fit and still eating crap. The first two months, I went for three mile jogs twice a week. Okay, sometimes once or never.
Training is like going to work but worse.
If a Monday morning can have your stomach in knots then a jogging has a similar effect. This week was the first time I tried a half marathon. I took half a litre of water thinking it would be ample and never have I been so parched in my life. My knees numbed up after ten miles, head started spinning, and everything became a dream. When I got back home, it was like I had taken a tab of acid.
