hi all
could anybody recommend a distance regime for a 46+ year fat boy who wants to improve his cardio

I understand that over doing it WILL put me in a box but want to improve not only my Kendo but my overall fitness as well

thanks for any advice in advance

One of my parents are doing an interesting diet where you eat nothing but fruits and vegetables every other day, and normally the rest of the time. Seems to be working, although I don't know much about its health effects. As far as distance running, try running 2 miles, walk as necessary, and try to walk a bit less every time you do it. Then once you can run the whole thing, gradually increment the the distances. Alternatively, go as far as you can in one hour (walking as necessary), and try to get farther the next time, working on spending less time walking. I'm no excersise expert, but it just seems like taking baby steps up to the point where you can run a few miles is a good starting point. One trick you can do in either case, carry a stopwatch, and start and stop it every when you start and stop running, so you can know how much time you spent running. Then try to make sure that number goes up every time.
