Re: Week 5 run 3

It sounds very familiar. I too was dreading it and wondered why but even though all my previous runs had been tough I still managed it. I remembered reading that people had said your body takes over and it does! Trust that you can do it because you really can! I was very sceptical but I did it and s...

Thrilled at 20 mins!

I am now on week 6 and come rain or shine have not missed a run! I had never run before this and am finding I am so into it! Even in the rain!! I was thrilled to have run non-stop for 20 mins on Saturday, seriously never thought I could do it! But what a sense of achievement. This week is going well...

Re: Week 5 run 2

Well done on the run. I have do that one tomorrow. It seems quite a jump from a five minute run, but think I will manage it....but run 3!!! Is that right?? Run for twenty minutes. It actually seems impossible! Good luck though.

Technical support!?!

My friend and I are currently on week 4 and are really pleased with our progress. We are both loving the app and run together both listening to our respective music on our i-phones. She has had problems with not having the voice of the motivator. The app is still working with the timer but just has ...

Re: Super duper trainers!

Have bought some new trainers from a great running shop. I was video'd running and had to run round the block in various trainers. Excellent service! Looking forward to tomorrows run! Although, have a cold coming but don't want to break the cycle, so figures crossed will be up to it tomorrow.

Re: Scary week 3!!

Hi thanks for all the useful advice. I did my first run of week three today and the first run of three minutes was tough but the second wasn't so bad, probably as I knew I had already managed one! I did slow the pace a little and did push through. I don't feel so daunted by the next one now. Thanks ...

Scary week 3!!

Completed week two yesterday and am a little concerned how I will manage to run for three minutes when at the moment 1.5 seems more than enough! I have run on treadmills for up to ten but am finding road running much harder. I am not carrying excess weight, just don't seem to have any stamina!! Any ...
