I've taken up jogging in the mornings, I do about twenty minutes a day at the momemt and have been for a few days, I'm planning on increasing this upto around thirty minutes (with another lap). I jog/run before breakfast and then eat after I've showered so usually about half an hour after the jog has finished, its not exactly jogging per se, but rather sprinting for 75% of the distance with 25% joggin dotted around each lap to help me recover.
My legs don't hurt too much at the moment, they do ache a little when I'm climbing stairs or walking fast, but aside from that they're okay. I'm mainly into this to lose some weight and tone up and someone has now told me that I should eat before going out in the mornings instead of afterwards if I want to lose weight. And I'm not too sure which method is better?
Also, how long will it be before my leg muscles begin to build up, my legs do hurt a lot after the run and I know this means that the muscle has been broken and is being repaired (and becoming stronger?) but this pain dies away after a few hours.
Any other advice to help speed up my toning? I don't really have time to go much over 30 minutes a day, but I'm hoping that as my legs get stronger I can fit an extra lap into that 30 minutes somewhere.
