How did Laura do it....

How did Laura do C25K without a Laura podcast to help her?

Poor thing ... I love Laura and cannot imagine my life without her

[RainbowC Graduate]

Maybe she talked to herself all the way through

Good point - she's a tough one!

Thanks, Laura!

[cadno Graduate]

I often think about this very thing. I imagine she had some gruff man barking at her from a pirate podcast...arrr you've run 3 minutes now walk the plank....

[amsjo Graduate in reply to cadno]

...or the zombie run?

[amsjo Graduate]

So which came first Laura or the Run?!!

[cadno Graduate]

You don't think she's an actress do you? My faith in humanity and the integrity of the nhs would be ruined forever!

[amsjo Graduate in reply to cadno]

cadno ... NNNNNooooooo .... she is real and she is proud of me

[cadno Graduate]

That is because you are surging forward and making (carefully emphasised) REAL progress

[amsjo Graduate]

..You will get there cadno ... believe me .. as a non running size 22, who hated running, if I can get to week 8 you can too just keep plodding at it

I actually wondered about this on my first run. She is so positive and encouraging - you need that motivational voice in your head to get you going and having her tell you what to do and when is the best!

[jeannag]

Have you watched the video of Laura on the NHS choices webpage?

[amsjo Graduate in reply to jeannag]

Yes but is she real or computer animated?!!

[jeannag]

If she's not real she the most inspiring bunch of pixels I've ecer seen!
