Okies, pretty silly of me but I had a bet with my little sister. It was all in fun and kinda started with a bit of fun banter. We have both bet each other to a race, we are going to enter a race for life in June of next year (6 miles, 10K) but the goal is to beat each other.... all my family think it is funny as I have no chance but I am determined to prove everyone wrong, if I cant win her then the fun will be trying and completing the course as it will be for charity and the incentive I need to get my fitness up.
Please can somone read the below 2 profiles and advise me on how to start and your opinion on if I actually stand a chance.
My profile......
1) Smoked for the last 15 years and gave up like 15 weeks ago.
2) eats anything and everything and does not even concider a managed diet.
3) Office job so nil exercise a day.
4) drinks a few pints of beer every night.
5) is 35 years old and has like a beer pot belly.
6) Is motivated on getting healthy and fit if I knew how to start without actually fainting in the process.
7) would probably struggle running up and down stairs.
8) loves a good english breakfast.
My little sisters profile.....
1) never smoked.
2) has a real healthy diet and is vegerterian, eats loads of foods i never heard off.
3) housewife to her 2 children but is quite active in her life.
4) she swims regular, weekly. i know a few years ago she used to lane swim in medium lane for a solid hour 3 times a week.
5) is 27 years old.
6) has a managed schedule in her life and very disciplined.
7) she runs a few miles a week, but will step up her training closer to the race.
8) she ran a similar race last year and loved it and said it wasnt all that hard.
Seriously, should I just not bother and were the hell do you get any advise on getting fit, like do I start the race fast and slow down when i get tired or start slow to maintain speed etc. . .
