As always even though I had doubts I completed the two x 8 min runs today and the next one is 20 minutes on Tuesday. I cant believe I'm writing this but the two 8 minute runs were not as bad as weeks 1,2 & 3, after five minutes of running I seem to find a natural pace and breathing rhythm, Ill u...

I have just completed wk 4 run 3 and found it ok, I'm quite looking forward to week 5 run 1 3 x 5 min runs as I feel I can achieve this but looking ahead to week 5 run 2 - 2 x 8 mins runs and run 3 - 1 x 20 minute run can't imagine doing those, even though I said I managed week 4 run 3 today with re...

I just did this one today and I actually found it much easier than week 2. The only thing I did get today that I hadn't got before was pain in my shins. I think I need new shoes!

Yes, you were right. I did week 2 run 3 today and it was much easier than run 2. Start week 3 on Monday!!!

Week 2 run 2 I found this the hardest one yet, not sure why, maybe my body is catching up with all this dieting and fitness training, I did complete it but I did find it much harder than week 2 day 1, the only thing that kept me going was knowing I had already done this run two days earlier and mana...

Just started the programme I'm on week 2 now. I have a great pair of Nike trainers called shox go, I have googled them but this pair seems to be no longer available. I am going to buy a new pair of trainers as the pair I am wearing are nearly worn down, anyone any advice on a good pair with plenty o...

Great to hear that you just completed week 2 run 1, I've got week 2 run 2 tomorrow. I run first thing in the morning as I find I feel sluggish after work but maybe that will change as I get fitter. Just got in from Pilates, only started that last week as I thought it would be good to do some work on...

That is really great I hope to be able to post a similar report on my little black dress in 7 weeks time! Thanks for your kind words of support. This forum is great as it means I don't need to keep on to my friends and family about it, as I'm sure they are already bored of hearing me say how delight...

Well done, I have found a path that is about 1/2 mile long so I use that and double back, it is reasonably flat with a couple of small inclines. I hope that once I start the 20 minute runs ( i think it is week 7) I will be able to go out further and enjoy more of the surroundings but for now it is a...

I did week two, day one today and I also wondered how the extra 30 seconds would be, but I really didn't notice it, I think the voice coach is a massive help and she came and said you have 45 seconds of running time left, this was a big factor had she have said you have one minute left I think it wo...
