Helloooo all!
This sounds like a plan, i'd love to be one of those people that go running - and great to see you can do baby steps! how are you all finding it?
I'll have to get the schedule and give this a go! xxx

I've done week 1 day 1 I am quite pleased with myself although I was puffing away at 1 minute jogs. Bit embarressing but onwards and upwards! Or downwards

Completed week 5 run 3 this morning. I'm really pleased that i managed to run for a solid 20 minutes, i really didn't think i would be able to do that a few weeks ago.

I hope I'll be able to do this. Completed week 1 day 2.
I've been running holding my iPhone listening the app so far which is a bit annoying. I need some pants with pockets

Keep it up, takes a while to get into the swing of things but I promise you it will come in the end! And it will be well worth it! Xxx

If u need to slow down a bit then do. As long as u run when they say run (even if very slowly) u'll be fine!! You might not notice a big change in your fitness till closer the end but you de will get there!! X

I wear the usual. Running pants, sports bra!!, proper running socks are a must and I bought really good asics trainers to support my legs. They weren't that expensive either. X

Actually ok... don't get me wrong... I'm a little relieved when it says I can walk but I have to start somewhere right.
I'm starting to get a slight sciatia pain when I get back after my session so need to get some proper trainers.. I hope its not going to stop me..I did slip my disc in my back in 2005 but havent had many problems since about 2010 so fingers crossed!
How are you finding it? x
