I'm 6'5" and ~240 lbs; not doing any serious exercise and haven't for the past couple years. Like the title says, I just registered for a 14 mile trail run on Sep. 8th.
Advice? Training plans? I figure I'll just run 10 minutes a day for a couple weeks, and increase by two minutes a week until I'm at 30 minutes a day, stay there for two weeks and add in a medium run, long run, and hill repeats, with that same 30 minutes in between each 'hard' day. Run 6 days a week. That'll give me 3 months of long&medium runs plus hill repeats. Is this ambitious? conservative? Sensible?
The plan is also to do yoga daily and a kettlebell routine every other day. No gym access; I live in the woods an hour away from civilization. I do have pool access in summer.
The goal is to become fit and lose weight again. I realize weight is almost entirely a diet issue, but exercise certainly isn't going to hurt.
I will for sure be doing an ITB (P)Rehab routine since that's been an issue in the past. Probably some achilles stuff too? Achilles Tendinitis was my only injury in high school cross country. I've also had overuse injuries&tendinitis in my hands/wrists.
I will also for sure be seeing a doctor to look me over, but I'm not anticipating anything there to slow me down.
