Get Running Forums

Hi all, As I've posted elsewhere, I'm Grace, 28, based in Hampshire, UK. I started a blog (my first ever so bear with me!) when I started the Get Running challenge 3 weeks ago, although I totally forgot to write in it for a while so it's not overflowing with entries at the moment! http://violabird-d...

Well I've just finished week 3 and I've lost 1 pound! It's a start!!

I feel so much better though, and have loads more energy so I'm trying not to worry about the weight too much right now!

The last few runs I've done without music, and had my iPhone in an armband so I could run without headphones, as I found that they were really irritating me - kept falling out of my ears all the time! I'm relieved that it doesn't seem any harder without music, and I can enjoy the birds singing etc a...

Hello, I can't recommend stretching enough! When I did the first run I didn't stretch and boy did I ache! The next day I could hardly walk down the stairs I was so sore, and in every muscle in my body it seemed! Anyway I looked at these forums to see if anyone else had encountered this and decided t...

Hi, I have a 2 year old and run early in the morning before anyone else gets up. I thought that I'd find it really hard as I'm not a morning person at all, but I'm totally shocked that I absolutely love it, and can't wait for run days!! I can't imagine running at any other time of day, I'm not sure ...

Incidentally, I must add that I seem to be constantly hungry since I started running, especially on running days (I run early in the morning) which probably won't help me lose weight! I've banned myself from buying any sweets/chocolate/crisps etc so as not to be tempted but still think I'm eating mo...

Hi Sue, I don't know the answer to your question but I'm rather hoping the same - I'm not massive but could stand to lose a stone or two! I too enjoy my food, and actually I eat a pretty healthy diet; cooking everything from scratch etc and have always just assumed that I'm carrying a bit of extra w...

I've only started recently, and I already love this app so much I'm wondering what I'm going to do when it finishes! I downloaded the app because I have a long term goal to run the London Marathon, and as I'm totally unfit I needed to start somewhere! I looked at all the apps and read the reviews, a...

I'm becoming a fan of extremely cheesy music when I run, I've only done two so far, but the first day I listened to the beach boys, and yesterday I listened to Queens greatest hits, which I found was ace to run to. Anything with a good beat and lyrics I know well so I can sing along to them in my he...

Hello all, I'm Grace, I'm 28 and based in Hampshire (UK). I downloaded the get running app last night and got up at 6am to do the first run this morning! I totally amazed myself, firstly for getting up at that time voluntarily (I'm a stay at home Mum and my husband works long hours so it's the only ...
