Right behind ya pushing it! 3 left for me. Bridge 2 10k anyone?

Well done! Ive just repeated my week 8 because I didn't make all my runs first time. Turns out I was just going a bit fast. Keep slow enough and you should make all 3. Good luck.

I got to week 8 of this program and then did a marathon. My verdict is that it's possible but you need your head examined if you do it that way! 6 hours after I started I reached the finish feeling more mentally, emotionally and physically drained than I ever have in my entire life (also a little eu...

Hi fbrun,

They're Addidas, but beyond that I havent a clue. Plus side is the pockets. Negative side is that the lining is that stuff you get in swimming trunks... bit harsh. Still, that's what vaseline is for right?

If your goal is to lose weight then you may find yourself a little disheartened for the first while on doing this. What this app does is boost your fitness and stamina. BUT...... The thing is, that as you get fitter you start to become more motivated too. It even becomes fun which is hard to believe...

Lmao. Seeing those yellow laces on the shelf every day was certainly motivating for me though. I hope you make your fortune on them on eBay Gareth. I wonder what colour you get for 10 k? Thanks all for the support! I'll be looking out for other people wearing yellow laces everywhere I go now and won...

I've heard that the arm bands can get uncomfortable over long distances, so I'll be going for a belt when I get around to it and am doing distances that mean its a good idea to bring water with me ...

I'm so happy. When I got my running shoes they came with two sets of laces. One of them was bright yellow. I felt so self conscious starting out that I wouldn't put the yellow laces near my shoes. I made a deal with myself. . . If I run 5k in 30 mins or less I get to wear the yellow laces because I'...

Hi, I just did a 15 min run today. My first run in a week. I should be starting week 9 but it's going to have to wait. I did the Dublin City Marathon last Monday and it took it's toll! While I managed to finish in 6 hours, I don't recommend doing it without more than 8 weeks training! It got really ...

I agree with YikesMn, The most important thing at this stage is building the stamina. Then the pace will come with practice. As far as I can see lots of people have reached the end of this programme without making the full 5k in 30 mins. Lots of people have done it in 28 mins too though. Week 6 is p...
