Re: Get Running app not working

Mine is an older iPhone - 3G I think (it's my husbands old one and he now has the 3GS). Mine was set up to go to the facebook app, but the reason I wasn't using it is that the facebook app doesn't work when it comes to status updates - it always freezes and conks out when I try to update my status (...

Re: Get Running app not working

Oh and once it went back to normal I switched the facebook function off, as I wasn't really using it anyway.

Re: Get Running app not working

Mine had a glitchy moment the other day - I closed it down after a run and when I went back in again after a while it kept going freezing up then going to facebook. I kept going into it and after a few tries I switched my phone off and on. After a few more tries it sorted itself out. Try starting up...

Re: 20 minute run in week 5?!

Yes, they hurt like anything in the warm down walk, much more than when I was running. I was relieved that my stretches and the walk home seemed to sort them out!

Re: 20 minute run in week 5?!

I did it! Finally I ran 20 minutes without stopping, I can't quite believe it! I nearly shed a tear when I finished, I was that happy!

Onwards and upwards, bring on Monday so I can start week 6 :-)

Anyone out there barefoot running?

I've just finished reading 'Born to Run' (would totally recommend to anyone looking for a bit of inspiration!) and have also recently been looking into the concept of barefoot running. There are people who run completely barefoot, and also there are barefoot running shoes like the Vibram Five Finger...

Re: Born to walk???

Sounds like you are being very hard on yourself! You've done brilliantly to get this far, I know I've had moments when I thought it was impossible too, I remember just a few weeks ago finding the first of the 3 minute runs unbelievably hard. I'm not far ahead of you having done W5R2 today, but I am ...

Re: 20 minute run in week 5?!

I've been having problems with one of my ankles in the last few weeks and sadly I only got 9 minutes into my 20 minute run before pain kicked in and I had to stop, so I've taken a week off to recover. I'm planning to start week 5 again on Monday, really hoping I can do it this time as I'm looking fo...

Re: 20 minute run in week 5?!

I've just done W5R2 and found it really hard - not quite sure how I managed it so now I'm really worried about the 20 minute run. Reading this thread has encouraged me but I'm still not convinced I'll be able to do it! I know I need to believe I can, a friend of mine who is a 'proper' runner tells m...

Re: I never thought I could, but now look!!

Well done, you should feel proud! I did W4D1 yesterday and was very proud of myself for running the 5 minutes! It is a big achievement when you're starting out from zero excercise as I am! Well done on the weight loss too, I've only lost 2 pounds but am noticing a real difference to how I feel which...
