Wait, 30 mins of.. Exercise?.. In a day?... That's.. Erm.. Ehm.. Urm.. Okay.  :o
Edit: After the initial shock, here are some tips: While jogging, do not stop. I repeat, DO NOT STOP. The speed does not matter much at first. Just have a good pace that you are OK with and try to atleast run for 40 mins.  :). Also, don't walk, even if it's slow jogging, it's better than walking.

Heaven forbid you take a minute and drink some water...
Having a fast heart rate is what I think you're trying to say.

Yeah, kinda like that. I'm really sorry about my english not being perfect and stuff, but I will try to get the message across.  :)
It also feels like shit if you suddenly stop after running for like 30 mins and then try to start running again without a break. Having a constant pace is important.

I didn't expect to do great the first time, but I do have 8 weeks to improve. By week 9, I expect I'll be able to jog at a decent pace...

I seem to have walking, then running. I find finding the "Middle" speed difficult. I build momentum and wind up running - the entire route I take is pretty much on a downward slope, constantly - no matter how small... except for near the start. Like a slide :D

...It's late, again.

Feh, I have to start training for cycling end-to-end next year. By end to end I mean from Land's End in Cornwall to John O'Groats in Scotland.
I'm not disastrously unfit, but I'm hardly an athlete.

You could try swimming for starting up cardio, unless you're specifically trying to run faster and longer.

Yeah, yesterday I basically just did muscle training in the leisure center's swimming baths.

Wish I hadn't. Got a mega cramp on the back of my right upper arm whenever I bend my arm more than 50o, or straighten it. I look like C3PO. <Snortgiggle>

On your tricep? From swimming? Craziness.
Did you stretch first?

Well today, I went for my Induction to the Fitness Room at my local Leisure Center. I ran 3.24km at 5-14 (km/h?), without even a single shot of pain, as opposed to 20 seconds of jogging normally.

Sure, I was lathered in sweat and breathing heavily, but I wasn't lieing in my bed for two hours trying to get over collapsing lungs - like I did monday, heh.

Fitness room is... awesome. I'm going to replace outdoor jogging with it, generally because I last longer with less likeliness of pain and such. In fact, tomorrow is jogging day. It says to do 20 minutes, but I bet I can fit in an hour, at least.

Would you mind if I jumped in on this regimen a week behind you? I've been meaning to start a decent exercise regimen for some time now, and this is as good a time as any.

Edit;
I'm back! I ran for 60 minutes, having a 1 minute break every 20 minutes to stretch my leg muscles and catch my breath. Shit was so cash.

4.4km in 40 minutes
5.9km in 60 minutes.

(I made the 5.0>5.9 in the last 30-60 seconds)

Lowest speed: 3.6km
Highest speed: 16.2km
