B210K W1R1

Just got back from this first run. I feel revitalised after running a constant 5k since graduating in November. Think I'm gonna struggle as the weather gets warmer though - any tips greatly received. Missed Laura giving her gentle encouragement and time warnings - I find the bell a bit offensive - is that all I am rewarded with every time I have completed a running section?!

You will be fine I know that . Found it reassuring to try B210k but did not like Sam Murphy's version, so chose another on i tunes which tell you you times at 5 mins 3 mins and 60 seconds left. it was called bridge to 10k free podcast, and I find it so much better than the other one. You won't struggle as it gets warmer as it will be some time before its really hot. Just think how far you will come before we get the 'real summer'.

Thank you for your encouragement. Your programme sounds a bit more friendlier than the one I downloaded - and it cost me £1.99!

I'm doing a B210k with a woman called Samantha but there's no bell. Am I doing something different?

I'm using the 'original B210k' app which I found on the website B210k.com website, downloaded onto my daughter's ipod because i couldn't find anything similar for my Blackberry. Definitely not Samantha, a very stern macho male giving me the orders along with the bell!
