wish me luck!!!

what piece of equipment can you buy which tracks your speed and calorie burn etc. I think it looks like a watch?

I'd like to buy one but don't know what they're called!

Hi Alexis, good on you for starting! Sorry I don't know what the gadget is called but just wanted to say I sorta started today - 'sorta' because I am doing it on a stationary bike! There are some great C25K apps for iPhone you can get - helpful to get voice prompts for the intervals whilst listening to your own music playlist in the background. You also log your progress as you go.
All the best!

Best of luck with it. I will be starting again on 1st Jan. I got to week 6 early last year but broke my ankle and lost all my momentum. Hopefully in 2012 I'll actually get to finish it.

Is the thing you are talking about a pedometer? I think you can get them in most sport shops. I have the WW one which I will be taking out with me.

Deffo agree as well re the apps....it makes it so much easier when you have someone telling you the prompts to run/walk....and the music makes it easier too. I use the Running into Shape one cause they have chart music but I know there are others out there too.

Have any of you tried it on a treadmill I'm wondering how it works does it tell you what speed etc to turn up too? Cx

I have run on the treadmill. Your are only told when to run and when to walk so you can choose your own speed.
