I need some advice about running. The thing is I cannot run, because I get tired and out of breath extremely fast. I can jog for a maximum of 3 min, and after that I feel like I'm dying. I am not particularly unhealthy or anything like that, and I am not even remotely fat, but I am in horrible shape.
I read some articles on this, and many people suggest just walking fast until I am able to jog more, and eventually run. But I am not seeing any improvement after doing this for two weeks about 40min every other day. Maybe I should simply stick with it, or am I doing something wrong here?
PS: I am also working out at home, doing pushups, pullups and dumbells. No problem in that deppt. My weightlifting endurance is ok, and I am slowly gaining strength and increasing my number of reps.
I am also on a low fat diet, eating in small quantities 5 times a day. I have been on this diet for only 3 weeks now though. Prior to this I have been eating a lot of foods high in carbs, basically no meat, and pretty much no foods containing protein. This is all changing off course.
