Bad Runner

I hate running. But I'm committed to it. This is the blog of my progress.

HIIT - A better way to burn fat?

So, I revisited John Stone's website the other day. It'd been a few years since I last saw it, and I was just as amazed as the first time I stumbled across it. The guy has truly transformed himself (although I have to say I think he looked best before ...

Today was the hardest to get up

The bed was warm. I could see it was cold outside. I really wanted to stay in bed. But I didn't. I put on quite a bit of warm clothes this morning, and when I walked out the door I was glad I did. After I got running, I remembered how ...

They alternate every 60 seconds right from the beginning, but increasing in difficulty before slowly ...

HIIT Training on an exercise bike

After battling shin splints for too long, I've taken the search for alternative ways to do HIIT lately, especially at the gym. I can do it on an eliptical machine, but I really hate them, and I feel like a complete freak while doing it, so last week I ...

Quick check in: Running still sucks.

So, it'd been a while since I strapped on the sneakers and went for a run. I've been bad. Period. But not as bad as running is. I still can't stand it. My legs hurt today, but more of a slow, ache. I know I'm just not used to asking that ...
