First time running.

Hi all, well I've kinda completed week 1. Using a great mill . The only bug bear I have at the moment is that the app stops half way though. Hence kinda completed. There is nothing worst then waiting to hear that voice " ok get ready to slow down" and it never comes as the bloody app stopped lol.

Anyway, I never thought I would try to run let alone enjoy the achievement at the end of the session.

Welcome and well done. Did the app stop as the device locked? Change settings to stop it locking or set the delay for it to a lot longer.

Enjoy your journey.

Thanks for all the advice, how's this for a boost to my confidence, been going to the gym since mid November and today I have got into a pair of jeans size 40! Yes still fat man size but was 44. Bring it on.
