Just ran my first 5K!!
Hi everyone, I've been following the get running app since May. Starting a new job and being ill have messed up my schedule a bit though so I've only just finished week 7.

Re: technical question
I *think* you should be able to sync your new iPhone to your iTunes and therefore transfer all your apps across. Just make sure you sync your iPod to your iTunes by plugging it into your computer first.

Re: Oh yeah! Just did week 5 run 3!
According to runkeeper, I covered just over 2 miles, 2.13 to be exact. That was including my warm up and cool down though. I'm quite slow!

Re: Oh yeah! Just did week 5 run 3!
I just finished week 5 run 3 today too!! Woo hoo! So proud of myself, a few weeks ago 20 minutes running was unthinkable! My legs do feel like jelly now though, which hasn't happened before. 5K still feels a long way off, I'm running so slowly that I doubt I'll be doing 5K in the 30 minutes in week ...

Re: Running away from home!
I've just found out which hotel I'm staying in and it's in a quiet little village in the countryside. I've looked on google maps and there looks like lots of nice little roads I could run down. So I'm going to pack my running gear, man up and just DO IT! Thanks for the advice everyone, good to know ...

Running away from home!
Hello all, I'm currently on week 5, just finished run 1. The week after next, I'm away with work for the whole week- I should be on week 6/7 by then. Obviously I don't want to take a break from running, especially as I've signed up for a sponsored 5K run in August, but I'm a bit apprehensive about r...

Do I run today? Help!
Bit of a dilemna... My boyfriend has had a stinking cold all week and I think I'm starting to get it today. I don't feel too bad yet, but my glands in my neck are pretty swollen and my throat feels a bit scratchy...I'm thinking I'll probably wake up tomorrow with a full blown cold. Normally I would ...

Re: Knee pain
I also get knee pain from running, mine is due to patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is apparently the most common sports-medicine diagnosis. The doctor gave me some exercises to do to strengthen up specific leg muscles which helps. Last summer, before I got the diagnosis, I was hitting the gym har...

Re: Help! What shall I do??
I also use an armband, you can get them pretty cheaply on Amazon. I'm starting to get a very strange tan line from mine though
