After not jogging for 3 weeks, I decided to keep going! It may be only 30 minutes long, I had over a mile to walk back home at the end of my session! With a stitch! I then thought to do a extra final 90 second jog! Big mistake! Stitch got worse and I felt dizzy and nearly passed out! So in future, stick to the plan and listen what he tells you to do!

Oh gawd! 😱 Yes, please do stick to the plan - it is well thought out and it works! Trying to go too far too soon can result in injury...and you really don’t want that right now. Thanks for sharing as a warning to others, and take it easy now. 👍

Definitely! I won’t be doing it again! Thought I was being clever! It actually scared me!
