10k charity run

Hello all

I only have 4 runs left of this programme and am desperate to have another goal to focus on.

I've therefore entered a 10k charity run in Greenwich, South East London at the end of November.

In truth, it has come a little too soon for me (5 weeks today), but it's not a race, it's a run ...

Re: So chuffed with this app

Wow!!!!!!

Just done the 25 minute run of W6R3 and I feel fab!

So chuffed with this app

Can't believe I have just finished W4R2. I have been meaning to "Get Running" for literally years but finally this app has done it for me!

Really really enjoying it. Funny things is, straight after my runs I am thinking about the next one and can't wait for it!

Haven't struggled majorly yet. Each ...
