Re: Just an update !

Hi Shari :) Well done on your running. We don't have snow here yet but it's easier for me to run on the treadmill as i live in the remote countryside with only 6 street lights in our village. If you are running at 11 on the treadmill you're really fast!I'm impressed. I'm plodding at 8.5 or 8 dependi...

Just an update !

I went to a proper running shop and they did a video of my gait on a running machine. £90 later and a massive hole in the bank balance the running shoes have paid off. When I first wore them I had pai...

Re: Week 4 and I'm struggling

How are you doing with your running ? It's very addictive, mainly because it's only you that can acheive it. Start slow, put the bad days of running behind you, and you will get there. Enjoy the good days and relish in the progress you make. I ran for 22 minutes then a following 10 mins today. 5 wee...
