Sorry to be OT Dave, but good luck to Buster Boy for school, and take a tissue.

My “Cliffie Young” shuffle was starting to look decrepid so I downgraded to powerwalking.

Hey, good luck with it! I looked into C25K when I started running last year (before winding up in my present rotund state) and while I basically did my own thing I found it very helpful (particularly the very idea that someone who got puffed running a couple of hundred metres could in fact work their way up to a respectable 5k!).

I’m fairly sure that your cycling excuses you from the need to go jogging.

Good on you Dave. Normally I’d suggest that people incorporate exercise into their daily commute (ride a bike instead of drive etc) and kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, but considering the relative locations of your home and office it’s probably not practical. I like the idea of jogging/running but I’m fairly certain my already dodgey knees would explode.

I found the podrunner intervals podcast made it really easy, I didn’t have to worry about timing the intervals at all, just moved to the beat.

Hadn’t noticed this on Twitter. May have to try it out too. Thanks Dave!

I’d been seeing it a lot too, and felt like I should give it a whirl. I have the iPhone app now and am off for first crack in half an hour or so.

Be interested in how you find it over each week, keep us posted!
