Originally posted by scooterscot View PostIf you're already unfit starting to jog at 10kmph for 10 minutes is not helpful, let alone 20mins. It also depends a little on your stride of course, but ignoring that, I'd settle for starting between 7-8kmph to start with. It's much much better running slower for longer than running quicker for less, both on body and mind. And moreover you're likely to go back to it days later.

My point is it's always better to start slowly when it comes to exercise and not compare yourself to others. Do what's right for you."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

But I'm confident that PC could easily achieve that ride in a reasonable time. Running is a lot harder than cycling over the same road distances.Comment

And aye, couldn't agree more with that - I can't view the video, but I can take a guess what it's like. I remember being persuaded to go out for a run with an ex-para mate of mine - I wasn't "unfit", but he absolutely destroyed me. From then on, we stuck to things like interval training where you can work on a personal best effort basis.

I had John the Saffa & Mudskipper to break me in, PS just needs to take it slow at first. Oh and you can never have too many lights or reflective material when commuting!Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
