RE: holofit Update #1 - The Starting Line
I took up running a while back and managed to lose quite a bit of weight. Before you say "But I am not a runner"; thats what I always said. I have done 3 half marathons this year. Its not huge when compared to seasoned runners...but it makes me happy. Good luck with your journey.
I've got to take it easy when it comes to running - physiotherapist's orders. Ignoring those orders, yesterday, I managed about 1km on the treadmill at 8kilometres per hour (which is probably more of a jog) - that put my heart rate straight to 180 :D
I'll definitely be building a bit more of that into my routine as I strengthen the hips / piriformis and hamstrings.
Yeah, as soon as you try to start too fast / increase mileage, weakness in the hips will cause endless injuries. I personally suffer with ITB (knee) issues if I do not strengthen the hip / core parts.
