I actually get drier jumping into the shower after a 2hr basketball session!

I've just started the whole going for runs in the morning thing as well. I got a manual treadmill, but that sucks. I end up getting tired and taking breaks and getting off, it's just all bad. I do more when I'm a distance away from home and have no choice but to get back!

I've started going out and doing 2 miles in the mornings. Bear in mind only a third of a mile so far is running and the rest is power walking / panting, but I'm getting there. It's hard to get started but from what I've heard and sorta felt so far after a little while you wake up wanting it. Makes me feel productive first thing in the morning before work too.

I hate running, but I used to have to do morning runs - that was several years ago now. Not a running person me. Knees are too knackered.

Routine used to be:
Up at 5am
Dress and go out and do 6 miles.
Get home, shower, dress for work *jeans and tshirt

*
Get to work for 6:30
Have breakfast - usually some yoghurt and a bit of fruit
Check up on what I'd be doing that day - inspection, development, design, etc...
Pop into the development bays to take a peek at what toys we had in.
Around 7:30 go to the gym
Do various weights, core stability and other exercises.
Around 9:00 - massage

If develeopment:
10:00 - Go to the track and do whatever until about 5pm.
5pm - massage

6pm - paperwork....
7pm - gym - see above
8pm - go home.

If inspection/design
10:00 - go do design/inspection/paperwork
6pm - gym
7pm go home

Although that could be changed daily depending on what we were doing.

Started going to the gym again earlier this year and am finding the treadmill extrordinarily hard work - my knees are too buggered to cope really - I absolutely hate it. All the other stuff is working though. Lost a reasonable amount of weight - enough to force the other half to make me go clothes shopping...

Bugger....

Manual treadmill? That is hell on earth, I've tried it once in a gym in Finland and as soon as you start off you damn near end yourself because it seems to have two speeds - flat out or stops dead - I've got a fairly long stride length so when I run and it stops dead I generally fall over.

I dont know what you mean about form though, so I'm probably doing more damage than good..

As Piggy says there are a few people around here who know what they are talking about and regardless of a lack of knowledge I'll chip in with what I think probably. Is that 15kg for the pair or 15kg each?

I absolutely detest any type of exercise - unless it's in bed.

Mind you, I've been told I burn somewhere around 8,000-10,000 calories just being awake....

I've got a new client as of today, a health and sports club! I'll be doing them a website and email newsletters in exchange for some cash plus free membership. yay!

They're 10Kg each and 15Kg each. though the 15Kg are a little heavy

EDIT - just got back from the 2 mile, i made 1.5 running/jogging all the way and the last half mile was more of a run-walk-run-walk affair. i made it back to my house in 19 minutes.

i'm gonna try it again tomorrow and see if i can run the whole 2 miles.
