Sounds like its going well for you. Keep it up! Running steps up next week - you may find you're glad of the walking bits!

[Pugwash Graduate]

Well done Morty. Getting started is the hardest part. As for the walking bits, I have to be honest and say that I need to remind myself regularly to walk briskly - it feels a bit awkward. One thing I do know (I'm only one run ahead of you) is that the experienced folk on here all strongly advocate sticking strictly to the programme regardless of any intrusive thoughts one might have that faster, longer, different is better.

[GoogleMe Graduate in reply to Pugwash]

I think the key thing is that you a) don't stop moving and b) focus your running efforts into short manageable, believable chunks so the walking pace doesn't matter a great deal just as your running pace doesn't matter at all.

Which reminds me I need to have another look at that link Bazza posted about walking style...

Stick to the programme to the letter. The walks are put there for a reason

Listen to what Laura says. You're not ready to go off piste until after Graduation, then you can do what you like. LOL

[Vixchile Graduate]

oh yes, it soon because very addictive. Its a very good programme to get you started in running.

[GettingFitter Graduate]

Well done Morty you're on your way just take it steady and listen to Laura. Make sure you take rest days too as they're there for a reason which you soon discover if you miss one

[getfitgran Graduate]

Well done, but as already said the programme is tried and tested, slow and easy does it.
