Hi all, I just downloaded this new app and I am utilizing this app to help me train for my first 1/2 marathon. I am 48 years old and looking to accomplish this goal on October 31,2015.

started this last week with the wife, now on week 2 day 3, not sure I am going to be able to finish week 3. Can't believe I am in this bad of shape. 5'10 248 pounds. Always wanted to run but I am struggling with this. Body just keeps saying quit. The struggle is real people !

Just finished my first day!!! So proud of myself even tho I didn't complete it entirely. I only ran the first two times and then I had to walk the rest, but I did my best so I'm happy with that. I'm looking forward to my day of rest tomorrow, and to repeating Day 1 on Thursday. Hoping to run at least three times. Wish me luck!!!

Surprised myself as didn't think I could run for a bus on wk 1. But struggling with 3 mins now, but will persevere!!

New to this but on wk 3 now struggling with 3 mins. but will do it as could hardly manage 1 min in wk 1!

Hey everyone. This is my very first app I have ever bought and can not wait to try it out. How does syncing this to mfp and google fit work?

AWESOME, Way to go! Keep at it!!!

I'm also a mum of 3 (2 biological) and I have PCOS, too. Over the past couple of years I have lost about 5 stone (70 lbs), although I still have another 50-60 lbs to go. As far as kick starting your metabolism, eating breakfast and have 5-6 smaller meals a day instead of 3 large meals will help attain a more even metabolism level opposed to peaks and troughs. I don't calorie count but I try to make sure that the amount of carbs in grams I have in a day approximately equal to the amount of protein+fibre in grams a day. Go for complex carbs as much as you can, too, things like brown pasta and rice, granary bread etc. This helps with the insulin resistance part of PCOS. About an hour before I exercise (running, roller derby, or circuit training) I try to eat some complex carbs (usually 1-2 slices of granary toast with some peanut butter and sunflower seeds) for energy during my exercise. I then follow up the exercise with some protein to help build muscles, something like a hard boiled egg, a chunk of cheese or some chicken breast chunks. (Disclaimer: this is just what I do, and not medical advice lol) Hope this helps, give me a shout if you want

You got out there, and that's awesome!! Just keep at it and you'll smash those 60 second intervals in no time

rolling my foot over a frozen water bottle was heaven after I got plantar fasciitis last year..I just finished my first half marathon and was in agony for months after..also, plenty of muscle rub and elevation of my foot

Hi everyone! Today is my third day using zenlabs and Im excited to looking forward to a healthier and better me! Today I was working out and my legs were hurting so bad that I had to stop. Any suggestions on what I could use to help with pain? And what is a good speed to begin running? Thanks to anyone that applies.
