thinking about running

Question
Dear John,

Hello I am a 23 year old female and I would like to take up running but I don't have a clue where to start.

Recently I decided I was getting a bit out of shape so I overhauled my diet and started exercising more regularly. I lost 2 stone steadily over a 3 month period and feel much fitter and healtier.

Now I am ready for a new challenge!

I am not one of natures runners- it's something I've hated since I was a kid and it would be a real achievment for me if I could do it.

Sadly my aunt died as a result of cancer this year and I would really like to run a charity 5K to raise money for a cancer charity.

At the moment I go swimming for an hour, twice a week and I
walk for at least 30mins daily.
I don't see myself as being particularly fit and know I would need to build up graudually. But how!!!

Also what kind of equipment would I need?

I'd be so grateful for any help :)

Hi Hollie
I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your aunt.This program you want to move forward with will greatly reduce your risk factors and totally change your life style and beyond like it has for me,and that i no for sure.Running is very simple and when you start out the most important thing is to begin with the end in mind in the the short term 1yr what you want to accomplish physically then long term 5yr and the years ahead will take care of it self based on the past conviction and follow through and commitment if you still enjoy the the journey and change your happy with.Here is a copy of some words i send to all my payed clients when they sign up with me to help them get truly focused on the mission ahead and not look back.ENJOY.





If you want to do something you have never done before,you have to be willing to become some one you have never been before.To change those conditions of your life you must be willing to correct the thinking that created those conditions.The  key to your SUCCESS lies only in what you don't know that you don't know.If you continue to think like you have always thought,you will continue to get what you have always got.Is it enough?  THE GREATEST PLEASURE IN LIFE IS IN DOING WHAT PEOPLE SAY YOU CAN NOT DO.Many of  life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to SUCCESS when they gave up.Will YOU?The past does not equal the future.The only thing that counts is deciding what you want today and then focus your attention consistently  in a direction and in a way that produces the RESULTS THAT YOUR COMMITTED TO.It is your time now to consider what fork in the road you want to take and travel.TAKE YOUR TIME NOW.This is the cross road.Choose wisely.Good luck.

To your success

PS..You need no equipment,just walk out the door and gradually work into it.It is that simple Hollie.A good pair of running shoes that feel comfortable is the only thing you need.
