I've just turned 40, am a bit on the chubby side and would like to improve my fitness and my figure.Just done week 2 run 1, it was tough!!!!! But on the positive side no shin splints, have tried to run many times before with various learn to run programmes, but always ended up frustrated having to look at my watch and forgetting which run I'm on or getting bored and doing my own thing - then getting shin splints. I am so slow at running, I'm sure I walk faster, have looked ahead to week 4 gulp! and do not feel that I will be able to manage this in such a short space of time.
