who on here goes running and more specifically fell / hill running? i have started in the past month mainly because i am seriously unfit  now i went today and did pretty well imo, though i was doing alot of running then stopping and walking and then running again - now is the stopping and starting a good thing i mean i can't run any further so i have to walk for a bit then carry on running! though has anyone got any tips etc?
please bare in mind i did about 2 -3 miles today over ground like this, which i think is ok for a beginner;

Ive only been doing that for 2 weeks though. You notice the difference pretty quick though id say.

Make sure you have the correct footwear... and I don't just mean wearing trainers, for terrain such as that, look at getting a pair of cross terrain trainers - Salomons are ace, I swear by them, my housemate reccomend innov8. A true fell running brand thats good are walshs.
Any pain or twinges, do the sensible thing and stop, not the false heroics of 'oooh I can run through this' take a breather and see how you go!
keep it up mate, and you'll notice the differance pretty soon!
Kez.

cheers m8, i have some fairly good new balance trainers which seem to be ok, admittedly they are not true cross trainers cheers for the advice though

im gettin a bit unfit now myself tbh, think i might start doing a bit of running, the gym bores me, prefer do something fun for exercise like football or somethink!
