Re: Help!! Hubbie wants to update iPod Touch...

If it's just a software update, it should be fine. But if not, then yes, you can go forward if you need to. Pull the "progress path" at the bottom of the Get Running home screen to the left and you should be able to see future weeks/days. Tap on a week or day to highlight it, and your run ...

New Site Look

Hi all, Just wanted to say that I've given the Get Running site a bit of a spring clean this weekend. Hopefully the new look won't stop anything working! I've given it some pretty thorough testing, and these forums shouldn't see any impact from the changes. If you do notice anything odd going on, pl...

Re: Week 3 and lovin' it :) but...... !!

I was worried about it at the time, but in the end I just plodded through it and it was fine. And I've done two half-marathons since then! :)

Re: Is Get Running Metric?

Hi Louise, Get Running isn't tied to any units apart from minutes, really. For example, in Week 4, you do two repetitions of: run for three minutes, then walk for one and a half minutes, then run for five minutes, then walk for two and a half minutes. All the other sessions follow that kind of patte...

Re: sleep trouble

Spooky. This post was the very next thing I read after today's Zen Habits post on insomnia ! That post actually recommends running as a cure for insomnia... Unfortunately, that post's about trouble getting to sleep, not waking up in the night. Personally, I've not noticed a big link between running ...
