Hi there!
Now that I'm done, I want to improve on my overall 5k time. Any suggestions out there for doing so?

I've been waiting for the day that I could be a graduate. I did it by competing in a 5k! I did my first 5K last night November and walked it. I finished in 56:17. I did one in February and jogged/ran 25 minutes of it and finished at 53:09. Yesterday I completed one (that had many atrocious hills) an...

I'm on W9R2! I'm also very sad that this program is coming to the end! I'm going to keep running 30 minutes 3x a week. Then I'm going to spend one day a week working on increasing my pace. I found this website that gives a good schedule. http://www.runningplanet.com/training/5K-workouts-goal-pace-pr...

I only have 4 more runs and then I'm done with the app. Wow this time went by so fast! What am I going to do when I'm done?!?!?

I also suffered from shin splints a lot. I first tried this app back in September of last year. I couldn't continue. What I did was started to walk A LOT. This got my legs ready. Once I started this app again, my legs were in a better place. I still had shin splints though. The thing that got me thr...

I also agree. I'm 235 pounds and nearly quit the app on W1R1 but I kept going. I'm on week 8 now and I can't believe I've come this far. Keep with it. The reward at the end is worth it!!

I did my first 28 minute run today! Crazy to even type that. It was gorgeous weather out so my muscles were warm. It felt great! I could've run 30. I'm covering 2.7 miles now with run, warm up, and cool down. I'm on my way. I can't believe I only have 5 runs left!!!

Congrats! I have 2 weeks left in the app and each week is so exciting. I've done two 5ks and I've improved so much because of this app. It's a great feeling to cross the finish line. It's addicting! You will love it! Keep up the great work!

Woohoo! Exciting isn't it?!
