Good job guys. Don't be intimidated, you'll get through each run. I would have never thought that I be running for an hour straight.

Good deal - you will be able to do this. Just find a pace that works for you and stick with the program.

Mgmt it a bit more rock but they have a pretty fast beat; daft punk also works for me

Good job!!

Love kraftwerk

Give it a shot...running is work but once you make it a habit you'll find yourself enjoying it (hopefully). I got up at 4 am today and knocked out a 10K run. At the end of it I felt really good physically and mentally. Running is getting your heart rate up by jogging and walking. Even world class marathoners have walked during a race. So find what works for you.

Good job, Ruthie. I hope you continue on to the 10K app; it's way more fun than the 5K app. Rob

Good job, Anne

Best of luck Rob

Good luck, Sean

Finished week 12 with icing on the cake...hit 10K also. I'm pretty happy about this; I'm going to hang out at this distance for a few weeks until my muscles catch up.

Welcome-it sounds like you have a plan. Running is mostly mental. Good luck.

Tara, How is it going? Good luck with the program Rob

Super!!

You should consider seeing a doctor & getting checked out. My experience has been different during the first several weeks. I run at 4 to 5 in the morning, shower, walk the dog & get the kids to daycare. Even on those days I felt absolutely awake and with better mental clarity than when I was a couch potato. It could be over training or something else.

Good advice; I started picking up the distance too fast & I started to get soft tissue pain on my right foot. I didn't think my cardiovascular endurance would outstrip my neuromuscular endurance.

Every other day works pretty well. I found that my cardiovascular endurance is out stripping my neuromuscular endurance as the distances grow. My body needs an extra day to recover. I sure hope my body adjusts soon. Even with one day off I've noticed my pace is about 10 sec per km worse than when I take two days off.

Congratulations!! Good luck with Week 4. Rob

Wow! That is a great half marathon time. Good stuff!!

Good job!

Good job, it can seem pretty challenging but at each week your body gets a bit fitter and you can go just a bit longer. I'm on week 12 of the 10K app and I can run continuously for over an hour. I'm not quite at where I want to be weight wise but I imagine that it come as I continue to focus on what I eat.

Congratulations, Sean.

Way to knock it out...keep stringing the runs together & you'll be running 10K.
