What should I do to get into great running shape?
Tinker
I am 17 years old, a female. I weigh around 135 and am about 5'1. I am not in the best shape, and would to be able to lose about 15 lbs in about 3 months. I can walk for miles, but running and I don't get along. yet. Any suggestions on how to get in great shape, being able to run for longer periods of time? and about water, is it good or bad to drink a ton just before running?
Answer
I am a big proponent of the couch to 5 K running program (C25K). It's a walk to run program and its one of the best.
The C25K program slowly increases your effort over 9 weeks. I did it and I really liked the fact that I could see each week I was making progress and I never really felt like it was too hard.
You will have to get a sports watch that can be programmed to do intervals. I really like Timex watches; the trainer line is pretty good. And some of them have Heart Rate Monitors which is a nice way of monitoring your effort. Casio makes a interval timer that's simple and inexpensive, W756-1A, you can find it at amazon for $20. Or buy a Gymboss for $20. All the Gymboss does is time intervals, but its real simple to use and program.
If you have an iPod, you can download a podcast that is the couch to 5 K program and you won't even need a watch. And if you have an iPod touch or iPhone, you can download the Interval Run app for $2. It is easy to use and is pre-programmed with the C25K and several other programs.
If you're really thinking of getting a heart rate monitor, and you don't have an iPhone, then take a bigger plunge and get a GPS Heart rate monitor watch. They have the interval timers built in, and you can monitor both your distance and your effort. I like the Garnin 405.
Once you graduate from the C25K program they have other programs that are more advanced. I still do intervals once in a while. A lot of runners do them once a week. So you can plan on using your timer for a long time.
