Sometimes I walk for a minute after 10 minutes already, just because I don’t want to provoke anything. This is a reason, why I’m not pushing myself too hard. However, as a friend of mine pointed out, it’s not really the best physical strategy to go running every day (injuries, no time for the body to relax and build up strength). That’s almost seven times longer than on day one. I feel like I have made incredible improvements, and I’m proud of myself that I have come from 3 minutes to 20 minutes in only two weeks. Well, maybe still pretty pathetic to some regular runners out there, but you know what, I don’t care. Now, two weeks or 15 days into the challenge, I can run for 20 minutes straight, followed by 1 minute of walking and another 8 to 10 minutes of running. I knew I shouldn’t push myself to hard in order to prevent injury and losing the fun, so I kept increasing my running only very slowly. Two days later I upped it already by 2 minutes of running. So I did 3 minutes of running and 1 or 2 minutes of walking. Ridiculous, right?īut I didn’t let that discourage me. On my first day, I wasn’t able to run for more than 3 minutes. I am now half way through my 30-Day Challenge that I set myself: Go for a run every day.īefore I was utterly out of shape. I’m truly convinced that if I can do it, anyone can. So because I want to show you what my keys to success are and also because I would like to get my head around this whole thing, I’m writing it all down. Now, it seems like I’m falling in love with it. Photography and Writing by Conni Biesalskiįollow me on Twitter and & Facebook I used to hate running.
