jog regularly (3 times a wk at least), increasing the distance once a week or 2 wks. (increase by mabbe 400 m each time). if not den try to run faster each time. going for swims helps too.

maybe the problem is that you start off too fast.

try to jog regularly. during these regular jogs, start of slowly (you must be able to breathe without diffculty) for the first few minutes. you'll realised after the muscles are properly warmed up, and when you get into momentum, it's just a matter of keeping the pace.

increase you distance gradually weekly. for example, try 3km first. the following week 4km and so on and so forth.

Ah. Shiok. Just came back from 5km run...

ok, personally from my own experience, u stop at 0.8km... that's when ur muscles ache, u wanna give up, u feel breathless...

what i do is that, i carry on... i treat that as a warm up... after that you'll be doing the routine jog... and ur muscles wun ache or feel tired...

only when the second wave of aches and tiredness comes, that's when u'r tired

that's my own theory which i apply to myself... any other theories?
