I seem to be struggling to find my stride at the mo, the first couple of miles are hard work, but once I settle in, I feel good and strong...my fitness really doesn't seem as far off the pace as it should be, given all the sitting I've been doing - and the cake I've been eating

Is a tricky start a symptom of cake addiction, or am I just out of practice?

I find it usually takes a couple of miles to settle into a run Idio - especially when it's cold. The pace feels unnatural and it takes a while to be able to breath properly. I seem to remember a post on here a short time ago that said this was not unusual - or perhaps you're just not eating enough cake

Thanks Idiophreak, I will have a look at mapmyrun. Used googlemap yesterday to map out a 2 mile circuit. Took me 30 min to do, which felt quite quick to me, but OH says is really quite slow. My plan is to build this up to 4 miles by going walking every other day. On the other days I will continue to go swimming at the gym, but add in some 'jogging' in the water.

Well done jess, it doesn't really matter about the time at the minute just the fact you are getting out for a run is great. I couldn't run down to the beach when I started which is only 1/2 a mile away!

Well tbh 30 minutes to map out a circuit is quite slow!;) A bit more practice with the mouse and you'll get quicker.....:p

OH is wrong, 15 mins/mile is a good deal quicker than I started out at...18 mins/mile was quite a briskish walk.....so dont worry, thats fine.:D
