How I did it: there's lots of advice already on the net. Its cheap to make. all you need is an old hot water cylinder. some plumbing bits, a source of water. lots of sunshine. and the rest is on the net. Read how I did it…
As i am not running at the moment, i am working in the garden instead. Its very hot but i am doing about 2-3 hours a day.
The wet season has started and i have begun planting things about.
its just too hot to go running. I would have to get up at 5am and i can’t.
But i am working a few hours a day in the garden and i’ve decided that’s good enough for now. When it cools I will resume running. But i think this gardening lark is going to keep reasonably fit anyway. We have a big garden and there is lots of work to do. Its just not the sort of work that makes me puff as much as running i think. Never mind.
