Well done Wardy on run 1 , as for your ankles this could be just down to not running in a long time and will get better as you get used to running again but I would guess you prob need to invest in some decent trainers and good cushioned running socks you'll be amazed at the difference they make , C...

Welcome Wardy to the world of get running , firstly when you do go for your 1 st run just take your time and enjoy the run , you'll feel great at the end of it , also remember your doing this for you so don't worry what anybody else thinks , we've all probably had the same thoughts as your having no...

Week 6 run 2 now complete , getting a bit worried as each run I do seems to go without any real probs , looked at the programme and I see it's just running all the way to the end of the programme ( week9 ) , 25 min run on Wednesday is next up and I can't wait , didn't think I'd be saying that after ...

Hi Birgit looks like we started the programme at same time , to measure my distance I use another ap at the same time it's called imap my run and it's free , just start this ap going close it down and start the get running ap and it will map the route you've run for you and tell you how far you've g...

Way to go Maddy you are now a runner !!!!! .

Just got in from my stretches after run 1 of week 6 , tried to increase my pace a bit today and all seemed to go well , covered just under the 5k distance inc walks (3.04 miles ) , so considering 16 mins of the 34mins today was walking I am well chuffed , really got the hand of my breathing techniqu...

Thanks Dunna , it was a great feeling yes but like I said the run for me went really quickly I just concentrated on finishing the run am sure you will do it , in my run I broke it into 4 stages I did stage one over 2 mins this was at the slowest pace I could do without walking then I went onto doing...

Done it , week 5 run 3 , ran for 20 mins and must say I can't believe how quick it went , I was really in the zone today , controlling my pace and breathing and before I knew it 20 mins was up Awesome feeling especially as I felt I could have gone quite a bit quicker and I did the run straight after...

Glad your run went well , you soon see as each run gets longer what the programme is all about , your stamina is being slowly increased each week so although the length of the run seems daunting you'll be surprised how easy each run is as long as u don't go to fast for yourself , I was like u but no...

Just finished the 2 8min runs glad to say all went well Apart from start of 1st run when I was chased by a dog (playfully I'm pleased to say) but it did halt my run slightly , got hard at the end of 2nd run but that was maybe down to choosing quite a hilly route at the start of the run today , still...
