A fun new running app

I've recently found out about a new running app which might give you graduates something to do whilst you're waiting for the second Get Running app. It looks ACE!

I can't wait to finish Get Running so I can have a play on this :D

Re: Week 5 run 3 - solid 20 mins (eek!)

I did my 20 minute run a week ago, but then I got ill so I missed a whole week of running :( Today I went back and re-ran W5R1, and I'm going to do W5R2 on Wednesday, and maybe again on Friday.

Re: Weight loss

Part of the reason why I'm doing Get Running is to lose weight, the other part is to build up my stamina. I've been weighing myself once a week since the start of the year (since I started this app), and have been struggling to lose just 1lb! I haven't been eating like a saint, but I have been prett...

Re: Sticky: Introductions!

Hello there. I downloaded the app last week and just did my first run today! I'm 28, and have been to the gym on and off since I was about 18. I'm pretty unfit to say the least, and running is something I have always hated. A couple of weeks ago I started Weight Watchers. I was at the top range of m...
