Happy New Year!

Heard the Radio 4 programme today, got inspired, downloaded the app and just ran my first run! Loved it, even on a cold January day, it’s great to be active outside.

Heard it too and though it's an obvious topic for new year's day it felt significant as I'd resolved to start C25K today. And I did. Found it tough but feel v pleased to have started

Ah that's great. You need the podcasts for the full 'Laura' experience but it sounds as though you are doing fine with the app.

Well done, great start. It’s hard to turn out in the cold weather, but a super achievement to do so !

If you have the app you don't need the old school podcasts, although those of us who suffered saint Laura's taste in music for nine weeks dont consider that you app runners have had nearly enough character building in your training.
