Re: Still running... W4, r1

I am still running though the weather in DK has been on/off rather windy and wet - this coming week though will be nice. I very much dreaded the start on W4 yesterday, 3 mins & 5 mins - but it all went well, so I am ready for the next two runs. A friend of mine (she actually recommended this ap...

Re: A New Me

...Had a nightmare of a week... Spent 20 mins chasing this bird around the garden so I could take it to the vets...Catherine x Wow! Quite a week. Well done for getting through it in one piece. But imagine. You caught the bird. When you started the programme you probably wouldn't have been able to d...

Re: Week 5 run 3 later today, scared!!!

Hi Jeaniedoll Just done run 1 of week 5, & although had to stop a tiny bit (less than 5 seconds i think) on the last run due to the dog deciding to stop, it went ok!! Have to try & get Molly dog to realise a toilet break is not an option when I'm running!! Not sure how the 8 min runs will g...

Re: Week 4 and I'm struggling

.....Sounds stupid dosen't it not being able to run 3mins.... Catherine x Hey - it does not sound at all stupid! I think that is how most of us feel here at the early stages. Three mins is forever - especially if you are running into a headwind! Well done for keeping going for the whole session tod...

Re: Not quick enough?!

...I started running to improve my fitness and to see if I would enjoy it, I don't think I will enter into any races, It is more of a hobby for me and so I am not going to let the distance get me down. Absolutely! I can't imagine doing a race in order to win. For me the joy has been in finding some...

Re: A New Me

I had to stop half way through the first 3 min run, not sure if I was just having a bad day as couldn't finish either of them and struggled to run for 1.5mins each time which I was able to do the week before!! Was rather windy and...
