Being in shape for the gym and the real world. Is there a difference?

I tried running outside today for the first time since I was about 5, and it could have gone better. I made it a total of about 10 minutes and I maybe ran a mile. Then I started to feel sick to my stomach (though that could have been the pizza), and got a side ache and really tired. But when I'm in the gym, I can run for at least 30 minutes no problems. Any ideas of how to make my gym enduracne translate to the road? :dunno:

  • Easy solution: Take up racewalking instead. They will be so embarrassed that they will beg you not to exercise outside. Besides, you can probably use it as a lever to make Rude Hormonal Fortress behave: "Clean up your room young lady or I will start racewalking at the track at your school in front of your friends." -LBJ Now why didn't I think of that?! I may actually use that line on my runner son if he misbehaves. Very clever LBJ. That's why I wanted to meet you. But racewalking looks hard to master. I'm still working on that OW swimming thing. How many sports can one do at once? I'm not Muppet you know ... And that Natalie/Heather/runner/swimmer/gymnast chick is two decades younger than me ... I can't keep up with her. Treadmills are good when there is ice and snow. I do think they're much easier than running outside and much easier on the bod.
