Amazing programme

Hi

I was a confirmed anti-exciser, but decided to try the programme for lent this year (easier than giving up alcohol and chocolate) and was inspired after seeing a blog at work.

I finished the programme just after easter and have entered a 5k charity run...no one could be more amazed than me. I have tried running without Laura, but find her podcasts really motivating (as I sometimes find the 30m a bit of a slog still). Would be great if there were a few 5k+ podcasts

Well done you. It really is great. I finished week 5 this morning and can't believe I ran for twenty minutes straight!
