Re: Hittting a brick wall???

Hi Masands Well done for attempting the run, it really is not that easy!

Re: Hittting a brick wall???

I took the advice of the above posts and slowed my pace way down for my 25 min run on Monday evening, and amazed that I could do the run with pretty much ease! I think the programme builds...

Re: Hittting a brick wall???

A few months ago I thought 'enough is enough' and decided to get fit. I downloaded this app and started jogging! I absolutely love it, and have shocke...
