Get Running Forums

I am 36 and have never been a runner. I have been overweight for the most part and have joined the gym etc.. but I always stuck with the cross trainer or bike and tried my best to avoid running or impact sport (think shin splints in my younger years from walking put me off).

However thanks to "Get Running" I have proved to myself that I can do it.... (its good to feel pride in myself it does'nt happen often)... so i'm just about to start week 4 and my goodness the thought of 5 mins non-stop is daunting, but hey I struggled running a minute four weeks ago but I know I can at least do 3 now.

Thank you so much for this App!!!! sounds like it's just not me but a whole network that you have given that get and go to.... YAY!

PS I have lost 4lb so far and look forward to more with the longer runs..

Well done, you should feel proud! I did W4D1 yesterday and was very proud of myself for running the 5 minutes! It is a big achievement when you're starting out from zero excercise as I am!

Well done on the weight loss too, I've only lost 2 pounds but am noticing a real difference to how I feel which is probably more important
