first time runner only on week 3 but i think following the app makes sense i upgraded to the pro version to track distance and i compare it to my misfit. they dont mach but whatever

Now that my runs are getting longer I should probably not run 2 days in a row huh....every other day?

That's definitely the way to express it! You stole those words from muy sub-conscience! As I don't love every minute of it when I have to reasure myself I can do it and mustn't give up.. But it's worth it, the feeling you get when you finish... It's definetly the opposite feeling of the one you get when eating your favourite naughty food.. You enjoy it while eating but feel rubbish afterwards, running feels the other way around! If anybody is contemplating running and reading this: it really is worth a try, if I had a penny for every time I though, said and heard people say that they aren't made for running.. Everyone is, you just have to take it slowly and listen to your body! You will become an addict!

This is going to sound so silly but from hating exercise I've gone to thinking running its a bit like making love, it leaves you in a happy place, I'm hooked up! I'm loving it!

As someone who just ran a half marathon when his long run was only up to 8 miles, I've got no business telling you not to do it LOL. Here are the things I considered in running my race..... Am I willing to risk having to walk part of it or stop? Will that ruin the experience of my first half marathon? Am I willing to risk the fact that I'm pushing myself beyond my trained limits and willing to accept the possibility of getting an overuse injury that curtails my running for several weeks? Am I willing to listen to my body and know when to stop if I feel I'm pushing myself to unsafe limits. Willing to accept all the risks? Is the payoff worth the risks? I know for me, without another opportunity to try a half marathon until spring, I felt it was worth the risk. If you are willing to accept those and feel it's worth the risk, DO IT! I wont say do or do not

Today is day two. I'm glad I found this app to guide me on getting on track and sticking with it. Nice to see I'm not alone. Trebor

I tried C25K about a year ago, made it to the 2nd week and stopped. It's more a time to get in shape then ever. Hoping this time goes better then the first. Off to do W1D1, wish me luck!

It worked! Thanks!!
