Hi, everyone! My name is Ally and I am excited to give this app a try. :-) I just had my second baby in less than 2 years. The second pregnancy definitely took it's toll. I downloaded this app as a companion tool to taking classes at my gym and working out with a friend. I am definitely NOT a runner but I know it is an awesome way to burn fat so I am giving it a shot. :-) Looking forward to the support of this forum.

Hi eveyone, this is my second week and I've noticed my shins hurt when I run. I have great shoes so i know that's not the problem. Any tips to make sure it doesn't get worse?

@chinebo WelI I felt exactly the same. Struggled with week 2 had to walk a few seconds of the middle 90 second runs. .So when week 3 came round I was scared! Will I be able to run for 3 mins when 90 seconds has been hard? When I fail the 3 minute runs will I chuck my running shoes away? Will I give up on loosing weight and getting my blood pressure down without drugs? No way ! Week three started today (should have been last week but had a tooth abscess, and was on antibiotics ) Britain is cold right now , who runs with toothache, in the cold? not me. When I read though this thread last night it gave me the confidence to at least try W3 D1 and see if I could ? So what if I cant do it today? I will just redo week two and try again next week. I knew if I just kept trying I would get though. My mind was imagining 2,3,4,5 weeks of week 2. But if that what it takes then so be it. Well I did it! Without stopping and feel pretty good about it. The key was just to jog at a slower pace.Yes a couple of snails strolled past me and my running partner a 2 year dog pretty much could stop and do her business before the chain got tight as I ran past her, but I did it. looking forward to next week, next challenge, next success?
