Like some others here, I haven't posted much (2nd), but I've read loads and feel great support and encouragement from everything I read. And I am STILL amazed to be here in this position.
Up to now I've been concentrating on the minutes - doing the required minutes for each run - and have used Laura to help me along.
I'm now beginning to get interested in speed and distance. I've been doing a slow jog, but don't really have much of a clue of the distance I've done. A brief look at a map makes me think that by the time I've done 30 minutes, I'll be running something like 4-5k.
There seems to be lots of apps for smart phones, so will download one of these - but would appreciate some advice one which one.
Thanks in advance for your time

My super-fit spouse uses Trax on his smartphone which he swears by but which didn't work this afternoon. I tend to go onto goodrunguide.co.uk and mark up my route once I'm home and showered.
It IS amazing to go from worrying about the horrible jump up from 3 mins running to 5mins, to being able to run for 25 or 30 mins. I still can't quite get over the fact that I am now a 'lycra lovely' in my nifty little capris.
It's mad isn't it, thinking that just a few short weeks ago, increasing a run to 3 minutes was a huge thing - and what an achievement that was - and that achievement has led on and on, and here we are.
I've lost a bit of weight and am more toned and generally feel fitter, so that's all good.
