Hi all!
I've never been in to running, I used to use my asthma and large chest as an excuse! I was quite active when I was younger, but as I became an adult I got quite lazy. Up until 2007 I weighed around 14st most of the time, joined weight watchers and went down to 11st within a few months n stayed this way until recently when a few health n personal issues on top lead me to go bk up to 13.5st! I Absoloutely hate it! So, I've gone back on WW but, have decided I want to get fit too! I've joined the gym, and yesterday did my first session on the treadmill doing Week One Run 1! I must be a bit fitter than I thought, as I managed to do it without keeling over - although I didn't run very fast n only covered 3k in total, but I was so pleased with myself! I loved the app too, and found it encouraging! Today I tried a different app, and although it was a similar work out the actual app and encouragement just wasn't the same... So I'm def sticking with Get Running! I am actually looking fwd to doing the next run!! Something I never thought I would say!
