NHS Couch to 5K - Planet Swans Weightloss and Fitness Group 10:13 - Apr 4 with 6106 views

Anybody else fancy trying this with me?

In the past I've tried to do too much, too soon which isn't an enjoyable experience and I inevitably give up before I see any benefits. But the Couch to 5K slowly builds your fitness over 9 weeks, taking you from essentially 0 running ability to 5K and beyond

You can either download and follow the podcasts here; https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/get-running-with-couch-to-5k/#download-nhs

Or download the app from;

It was a doctor's recommedation, after a operation. It's 800 Cals a day. By Dr Micheal Mosley. Mind you I will have a few beers tomorrow a day off won't harm

800 calories a day is virtual starvation.Auschwitz captives had about 700.

I have had slight hunger pangs which I will eat celery or tomatoes.
But other than that it's going better than I thought.

Breakfast is had
Fat free Greek Yoghurt with a hand full of fruit and some crushed mixed nut 200 Cals

Tonight Bolognese made with Quorn instead of beef 170 Cals.
I will have 2 portions with a side said which will be 380 calso.
So I have 220 for lunch.

About two years back I got a larger dog, a Ridgeback. We also have a terrier who is not so keen on walking. Might not work for you but could borrow someone else's large canine?

I find the dog helps a lot. I am out between 5.30am amd 7am every morning. Started off slow but now get a god few kms in. Walking only.

I have done lots of running at a high level and recommend daily walking. Swimming and cycling once a week each.

Playing any sport on the weekend is the big one. Got to have something to aim for. Join a pub team and play in goals or maybe referee. I do refereeing every two weeks after our game - it is not much fun but is a good work out under pressure. Or take up badminton, tennis, squash or table tennis.......

Great post, chad.
