Reply from Ally, Age 21 - 06/08/09 - IP#: 74.92.246.xxx If you're not used to exercising, I think you should stick with the mile and a half until your body becomes adjusted to that amount of exercise, then start increasing the distance by a half mile each time. The reason I say this is because if you start off at a longer distance, you may get discouraged easier than you would've if you'd stayed at a shorter distance and gradually worked your way up (which means you may stop exercising all together - I'm speaking from personal experience =D). The main things you need to keep in mind when running is to keep yourself properly hydrated, stretch before and after your run and maintain the consistency of the exercise you choose. It doesn't matter how far you run - it's that you stay consistent with being active. Good luck!!!
