Question:
Fist time running 10 MILES?
today i plan on jogging (slow pase) for 10 miles on my eliptical machine .. i istimate it will take about 2 1/2 hours
i never jogged this much before probly the longest i jogged was 6miles ..
is this dangerous in anyway .. is this too much running for a 16 yr old or am i just being to cautious? and wont all this running make me really hungry.. ( running usually does this to me)
and how much should i eat before i run so i dont pass out or anything because all i had to eat sofar today was yogurt im afreiad if i eat too much and run ill get sick
Answers:
In my experience running on an elliptical is nowhere near as hard as actually running. Have you been building up to this, or have you decided to go from 3 miles to 10 on a whim? I have run 21/2 hours on an elliptical before and was fine, but I worked my way up. Have water handy, fruit for after you're finished and quit if you're becoming uncomfortable. At least you won't be in the middle of nowhere.
