First week - First run

[Mark83]

Well I have just signed up and completed the first run of week 1. I found it ok, had a few small aches and pains in my hips but nothing major. I do wish the music was a bit more interesting though! lol.

Me too!! Just completed first run, harder than I thought it would be tho, annoyingly my body was fine, it was my breathing and lungs that I found held me back, just hoping it will ease as I get a bit fitter!! Congrats on ur first run, keep us updated please!

Sorry guys but it doesn't get any better!

Well done on doing your first runs, it is worth putting up with the music to hear Laura's reassuring voice!

Good luck with the rest of the programme.

it would have been good if there was a version which would let u play your own music and then her voice would just talk over it.

So next run will be tomorrow. Body isn't feeling too bad today so thats a good sign!

The only problem I seem to be having is when im running on a treatmill is getting static shocks! lol.

I enjoyed the music to start with, I thought it got quite dire later on, then I enjoyed week 9. If you hate it already, you might want to think about mixing Laura's voice with your own choice of music - others here have done that, although I haven't attempted it yet.

Well done on completing your run !

Hi, well done! I also did Run 1 Week 1 today. In the rain, which I suspect is a taste of things to come. I'm starting without the podcasts as I haven't got myself sorted yet with a gadget to use with my hearing aids, but I used an interval timer and that worked fine.

Daft question, but do you actually 'sign up' anywhere on the site or was that just a turn of phrase?!

Lovely to find such a supportive community here and so much advice and encouragement.

Turn of phrase Snowchaser... Although I think its good for me to think of it as a contract...think I will keep up the commitment then.
