Get Running Forums

That's about it. And the feeling of unstopability afterwards (if not always during)!

Brilliant Dawn! Very well done for getting started, that's the single most important step. I'm really happy that you like the app

Before anyone asks, if I do an iPad version of Get Running for use on a tread mill, I'm not putting in an embedded book reader. :-) I tried a treadmill once for about 20 seconds and found it pretty unnerving, but I can definitely understand the attraction with the weather outside at the moment. Then...

I was doing some freelance work over in Dusseldorf when I did my 20 minute run. I was almost totally convinced that I wouldn't finish it. The run I did out there took me around and around this big block of houses and at the end was a pub and restaurant. I think I ran past the diners there about four...

Heh – it's true, I know some other coders that climb, and the three or four times I've given it a go, I've loved it. Wish I had a wall close to hand: I think it is something I could get in to.

Hi, I'm Benjohn. I'm currently living in North London with my wife, Misa, and our two sons. As Matt said, welcome to the forums! Here you'll be able to share your running journey with others who are jogging along the same route with you – all the highs, and the occasional lows. I developed Get Runni...
