Re: Week 8 Run 1 Done and loving it.
Hi Darren, I'm at the same stage as you: I have wk 8, run 2 coming up in the morning! I love this app and am still constantly amazed that I can actually run for this long.

Re: I did it! Wk 6 r3
Yay! It's brilliant isn't it? I did wk7 run 1 this morning, so my 2nd 25 minute run! When I got home after doing it for the first time I said to my husband 'Omg, I really did it!!!' and he said 'Of course, I knew you would!' (Well, he knew more than me!) Keep going and we'll soon be celebrating 30 m...

Re: Proper Warm Up
You are still instructed to do the 5 min warm up walk and 5 min cool down walk on all runs including 25/30 min ones. When it says 'with no walking' it means during the run.

However I do appeciate that running in a holiday resort is completely different from running in a city, which is what you may be contemplating. ...

Re: Holiday
Just an update of my original post from a few weeks ago; I took the advice of the replies and packed my running gear for my holiday to Greece. Just got back last night. As I wasn't sure if the heat would affect my runnng, I ran early in the morning and for my first run, repeated the last run in week...
