Anushani Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hello all, Newbie here, i have been lurking for a few days and am really enjoying reading all the motivation and messages. I started this app a few weeks ago, and as a non-runner (even going up the stairs tired me out), have really enjoyed the progress so far. Like a few of you, I was really not looking forward to day 3 of week 5. I read a few posts of the runners who completed it and thought no way, my body is just not ready. I got my self ready, new playlist courtesy of my 14 year old, stretches, towel and water, no excuses. I was nervous, full of dread and funny enough a bit excited. At the gym, i went purposefully between two runners already in full speed, and started the run. Something inside of me must have just clicked, as already half way through the end was in sight. I personally like to see the the timer, as i set my self goals to get to the next five minutes. I completed the 20 mins and felt good. I didn't manage two miles, but continued the run/walk scenario and completed 5k. I am really looking forward to week 6 day three to see if i can beat my time. I would just like to say Thanks to all, as reading your stories pushed me into believing I could do it. And for those coming upto the dreaded W3D5, you can do it!

theresa007 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Congratulations! I'm going to need to get a play list going. I can JUST manage 3 minutes at a very slow pace without music. At some point though, I'm going to need a distraction from wondering just how long I still have to go for this interval. Thanks for the encouragement! I've been worried about 5-3 also, and it helps to hear from someone who managed to complete it and is excited to have done so.

KellyAnn Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Theresa. I absolutely find myself soooooo slow without music. If you don't have a playlist, I use Pandora or Spotify. They do have workout our fitness music. I've had to use that before and I love it. You are doing great. Keep it up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
