good stuff! keep at it.

One method that helped my friend improve was during their regular walk, they picked a landmark (bench, tree, sign, lamppost) then ran to the next lamp post/tree, then after resumed walking. He did this couple times during a walk. Then 2-3 weeks later he would try to run a bit further to the 2nd landmark.

By doing this it showed him is fitness was improving (not just at the scale). To him, those small challenges and victories help kept him motivated, and sparked that natural competitiveness.
