QUIT SMOKING RUNNING
i quit smoking on sunday and want to start running.?

I have not run for many years any advice?

I did the same exact thing – I’m 25 now and I have smoked on and off for almost 10 years!

I feel great now, I quit smoking almost 4 months ago and now I run 40-50 miles a week and I feel better now then I ever have in my life!

It’s tough at first – try a program that isn’t just flat out running. Set yourself a program that is maybe running for 8 minutes, walking for 5 minutes – do that for a few weeks, then run for 10, walk for 5, run for 15, walk for 8 . . .so an and so forth, you get the idea. Your body will tell you what is best, just don’t quit –

And I know it sounds horrible, but don’t be discouraged when you are done running and you feel like you just drank drano – that’s all the bad nonsense coming back out of your lungs and your lungs working again!

Feels great, good decision.
