Re: Week 1 day 1...couldn't finish
So long as you don't give up. Just try again. I reckon most of the 'battle' is mind over matter. You can do it.

Re: Week 5 run 3 - solid 20 mins (eek!)
I did my 20 minute run yesterday morning and was worried about doing it. But I'm pleased to say I did it without stopping. It was a great psychological barrier to break. I'm assuming the next few weeks I'll step up the pace because I didn't even crak the 3km mark, let alone 5km that this app is supp...

Re: W4 to W5 & cranking it up a notch!

Re: week 5 run 3
Congratulations. I've just finished week 4 and now I know what lies ahead for me in one week. Oh well, I didn't think I could do 5 minutes without stopping and I did.

Finished week 3 and feeling pretty good
With some encouragement from a friend who used this app, I started using it three weeks ago and am quite proud that I've not stopped. I was one of those people who said for ages I don't run because of my dodgy knees but with some natural supplements and taking it easy on the runs my knees are doing ...
