Just downloaded the app for my 12yr old granddaughter. I’ve found a park to run in with her and we’re going off on Monday after school for her to do w1r1 and I’m doing w8r2. I’m hoping she’ll get the bug as she really needs to get fitter and loose a few inches!! She takes after me unfortunately.

Well... if she takes after you she’s gonna be just great at this programme! Tell her to just enjoy it and not race... she can do it and we are all cheering her on.

Thanks, I got her to watch that YouTube video on slow jogging. With her normally everything is either fast or stop! She came in the living room saying is this how you do it! Result she got the message.

Thanks, I have custody so she can’t get away from me 😂😂. But if she does try running I’ve got more chance of catching her !
