Get Running Forums

Hi this is the first time I am using an app to coach me whilst I run. This isn't however my first run but wanted to complete a 5k run. I always tore pages of 5k training plans out of magazines; which are now lost around the house somewhere. I'd complete the first week on the training plan but never actually completed week 2 and beyond through lack of motivation, these bits of paper just couldn't offer mectge support I needed to get off my backside and do another run. I have done my first run last night and the prompts to start running and walking was excellent as I didn't have to stare at my sports watch every few minutes in the dark, whichbhad always been tricky. Instead I could concentrate on my breathing and performance. I am looking forward to my next run and hope to complete my first ever 5 k run in December!

It's working for lots of people. No reason why you can't be running 5 k in December! Ps. Running in the rain can be nice.

Welcome Vinette. I bet you that in 9 weeks you will be here telling other newbies how wonderful this programme is!

Thanks Ian and Keep Trying for your replies. The next run is today and forecast to rain so will let you know how I feel about running in the rain .

Have a good day guys and hope your training is going well!
