Hi Guys,

Just wanted to clear something up...there are 14 pounds in a stone (and 16 ounces in a pound). This means that at 260 lbs you weigh about 18 and a half stone.

Don't worry about it...you'll be able to do it. Seriously. I was so scared but I managed it, and you won't believe the sense of achievement when you finish it...huge! Don't worry about breaking any land speed records - just keep your pace steady and you'll make it. There seemed to be some kind of 'b...

Well done Maria! I know how you feel.....I'm about to do W7R2 tomorrow and had never run before this app came into my life either.

Have to admit I had rather smug smile when I'd completed it (or perhaps that was just a grimace!?). Week 6 run 1 completed today which was so much easier ...

I don't normally post on forums, but thought someone might be able to clear something up for me. I have my Week 5 Run 3 tomorrow, and I'm petrified! I can honestly say I'm nervous.....so much so that I'm not even drinking a drop of alcohol tonight....AND IT'S FRIDAY!!!! I've been OK up to now with t...
