Get Running Forums

Good on you starknut!! I did week 3 run 1 yesterday and I was so nervous.. I remember getting to about the 2 min mark of the first 3 min run and I thought "woah.. I think I actually can do this!" and I did- and it absolutely blew my mind. Cannot wait for the feeling of achievement when I d...

Alibhe, to be honest I'm worried about December weather haha it can get stinking hot! Even in evenings it can get super humid.. I think I'll stick with early morning before the sun comes up because it's probably the coolest part of the day. I just hope I stick with it because I really hate sweat and...

I think its a great time, if you manage to wake up that early! Think of it this way- you're kickstarting your metabolism - and if its hot this time of year (like where I'm from in aus) then you beat that morning-sun heat! I wake up at 6 and go for the run- my body absolutely hates me when I'm gettin...

And did week 3 run 1 this morning.. I cannot and could no believe I managed to run 3 minutes straight! It's beyond me but the creators of this app knew exactly what they were doing. Loved when coach Claire said "remember- that's three times the run you could do 2 weeks ago!" I was like YEE...

Woohoo!! Just finished week 2! I'm so proud of myself!

I find that getting up early and getting ready for the run, I'm dreading it, but once I get going its great!! It's seriously not as hard as I thought it would be

Can't wait to start week 3..

As ive been reading on this forum, I took the runs super slow and steady and was able to quite easily finish the run! Wooohooooo!! June194- that's a good point about the t...

Hey guys, again thanks for all the kind words. I'm a bit bummed out today- was really tired getting up this morning but thought 'no I have to do this!' so I went out on the run expecting it to be easy.. Straight away I was struggling and gasping and stuff. Managed to do most of it but in run 7 I had...

Wow thanks for all the encouragement guys!! I got up early and did run 2 this morning- I think it was marginally easier than the first. I just kept thinking 'if I have done this once, I can do it again!' which seemed to work! I think thats probably the best thing about the program, usually you will ...

Hey guys! Just finished run 1, and boy was that tough!! I felt a bit woozy and faint afterwards but I'm really proud that I managed to run 8 mins! I thought I wouldnt be able to run 30 seconds! Just wanted to say hi and let you all know that your posts have inspired me to start the program. I'm doin...
