Excellent!!! Keep up the fabulous work! You'll have more "I did it!" moments coming up! Stay focused and watch how far you go!

Woohoo! So proud of you! I'm right behind you. In week 7, up to 25 minutes and it feels great!!

Excellent! I felt the same way going into the 20 minute run. Now I'm up to 25! Keep going! As for shoes... Find the nearest running store and have a gait analysis done. That will determine the right shoe for you. It's worth the time and investment in the shoe that they suggest!

I nearly quit the program in W1R1 because my calves and shins hurt so bad! Each week I doubted even more. I am now on Week 7 running 25 minutes. You CAN do this! Repeat the day if you have to, but DO NOT STOP! Your body will adapt and you will be amazed!

Hi Everyone! I just finished week 6 run 3 today! One of these reasons why I wanted to use the app was to be able to run a full 5k race. I had signed up for one on February 18th and even though I know I wasn't going to be done with this app, I figured it could help! Well I did the 5k on February 18th...

Bravo! The 3 minute run was the hardest leap for me! You'll have some more "proud of myself" moments coming soon. Brace yourself!

Thanks Matt! I took your advice and skipped today's run. I am going to do my 2 x10 runs during the 5k. This way I get a 5 minute warm up before my run. Having this app running will keep me on the normal pace I run! Will let you know how I did! I'm excited!

I concur... Get your gait analyzed. I had been running in Asics, but after getting my feet analyzed I switched to Saucony. It was the best thing for my foot!

Hi everyone!
I need advice. I have W6R2 scheduled tomorrow and Sunday I am scheduled for my first 25 minute run. However I have entered a 5k on Saturday!!! Should I do the Friday and Sunday run? Has anyone been in this situation? What should I do?

So Sunday I did my 20 minute run. Today I thought it would be easy to do my 5,8,5 runs. Boy was it tough! I did it, but I had to drag myself through it. Did anyone else experience this?
