@Senthil....
That is fantastic....u r doing perfectly right....i was not sure what was that u were focusing.....makes sense first build stamina and then think of speed....we hv sufficient time to work on the speed later....TWO observation
ONE even though u r not building right now on speed i still feel, it is better if u include in ur running once a week HIIT [High Intensity Interval Training]....u will hv solid advantage....
TWO u wrote in the zym....u do warmup + running + some weight exercise....what i suggest is this [for that this is my assumption, i really dnt know how u want to look.....i assume.....u dnt want to look bulky, u want to look LEAN (Salman khan- BULKY & Lance Armstrong-LEAN) make a small change....ie. Warmup + some weight exercises + running (anyway cool down last).......i personally feel LEAN is THE look.....wish u finish strong.....!!!

@Senthil....
I wish u do that....just to give u an idea wt is that timing means....u, me and most of them need to run in Open category and not Elite.....the timing what u r talking about is the timing of the GUY who has finished first in open category for 2009 out of 8000 plus runners in that category......this year at least it will be 12, 000 plus......cool......go for it......all the very best.

@Senthil....
Yes only in the Open category....if someone is willing to participate in Elite at least in one the criteria as below mentioned they need to qualify....
1] They should have certain timings, that is definately lower than 40 mnts....
2] They need to have Indian Athletice Federation/Indian Olympic Association entry certificate.....
3] It is only by invitation....
4] One should have participated in 5 international marathon events in the previous 12 months....
5] Previous sunfeast open 10k First finisher....

@Nitwit....
Congratulations to you on deciding to participate in Sunfeast this year......sure you can do that....first time you will have wonderful experience......just focus on completing at any cost....before me proceeding further i would like to know couple of important info from your side that helps you to think of next strategy for the workout and helping you lose weight......
1) Age & height (only imp if you have crossed 40+.....)
2) Family history (only if there are cases of heart attack or diabetes....)
3) Do u have any injuries or accident earlier (only if doctor has advised do and dn'ts...)
4) Now it is a month you are into fitness/exercise, what about earlier whether you used to do it or what.....
5) Little bit details about your habits (if there are any unhealthy only.....)
Please dnt get offended i have asked some of the info which may sound too personal....at any point of time if you feel you dnt want share it is perfectly fine....you need not have to.....
Either fitness or maintaining ideal weight it is all about lifestyle what we practice and discipline.....all the best for your first Sunfeast 2010 bangalore run....!!!!

@Nitwit.....
Fantastic that is....i dnt see any issues with ur weight....i agree may be u need work on ur Endurance, Stamina and Strength.....may be u hv nt used it for a long time that is why is not responding to the level u want it....u must be wondering why am saying no issue with weights...if u keep looking at ur BMI ie. 27 as u mentioned....i personally feel u shd nt give too much imp to it....let me tell u why....acc to BMI i am Overweight....i can really put that word overweight on shame.....just to give one simple example....i can cycle non-stop for 5 hours covering 100 kms....or can do Half Marathon under 2 hours....can just go on and on....
Best way to check is u need to record what u r doing [Log book] that speaks about the progress....couple of things u can add to build ur Endurance....
Will just give u one very simple example.....
* Skipping.....Tmrw/today just give it a try [this one of the wonderful tool....most of them under rate it...]....what i want u to try is this....with or without rope, with 30 secs break in between [totally 3 breaks] count the no of skipping u can do....[maintain a record of time taken, total nos, date, wt time of the day u did it]......pls share this then i will tell u what next and how to proceed further....!!!

Hi,
How many of you practice shadow boxing....how many numbers you can do....which part of the body do you think it works and how many calories one would be burning....please share whatever you know about it....???

@Varun....
It is a boxing one does punching without boxing bag....that is the only difference....and that is why it is called shadow boxing....he imagines there is a bag and punches with same speed, power and uses same strength....very very useful....it helps in reducing abodomen fat and helps in building strong upper body....i find it very very useful after doing push-ups....after push-ups hands becomes stiff and it helps in netrulising that....i dnt know how many calories one burns by doing that....basically practiced in Martial Arts....bruce lee used to practice it also....!!!

@vinay.....
looks like for everything the solution is walk that is what you say.....am curious.....what is that you know about WALKING.....!!!!

@Varun.....
Only corporate group registration has started [bangalore cares/pratham books]....NGO/charity driven....other registration will start anytime....will be having official announcement very shortly....!!!

@ Ankita soni....
Yes it is quite possible....we hv almost 2 months plus....that is good enough time for focusing on completeion with a decent timing....bcz it is 10k a run....start off right away dnt even waste a single day.....best way to check it out where do u really stand try to RUN for 20 mnts....that gives u lot direction how to proceed further.....keep sharing....all the very best.....!!!
