Hi,

I'd like to join.  I actually started last week, so I completed W2D1 today, but I def need the accountability.  I started the program about 2 years ago and got 5 weeks into it before I injured myself.  I think it was a combo of the running and also playing soccer.  If I get through this program by Sept, there is a program to prepare for a 5k in Oct and I'll sign up for that.

I tell you 90 sec goes by soo fast when I'm walking, but jogging it is a whole different story!  Look forward to running with you all!

I plan to start W1D1 today and am looking to find a 5K in the Seattle Tacoma area for sometime in August. I'm not a runner (more of a swimmer), but for years I have wanted to complete a triathlon and need to take some action to make that a reality. Since I don't have a bike or access to a pool on a regular basis, I have decided to start training to run for now. I plan to reward my efforts with a bike next summer.

I started today and it very hard for me. I'm 46 years old and i'm at a good weigh for my height, I've always been a walker but never have been able to run any distance. Coworkers reccomended this program so I'm going to try it. My husband will be doing it with me , which is great but he has a running back ground even though its been alittle while for him. It will be great to hear how it's going for others. I notice that about half way through it got a little easier but then towards the end my legs felt like jello and it took me a little while to recover. I'm accually excited to do it again on Wed. I think we are going to try to use the podcast. I hope it does start to get a little easier though, i feel like I am so weak and out of shape. Any encouragement is welcome!

Hi Jill !

No, I have not started yet... I will be going outside in NC.. so, need to do this either very early am or after dinner.

I have two little boys 3 and 4 years old I am 37 and have always fluctuated with my weight and fitness.

I have never run and fear I'm going have a hard time getting the breathing right..

any suggestions?

I did my first run yesterday as well.  Got severe chin splints, did a few of the running laps, but then ended up walking because of the pain.  Hopefully, I can complete the running on Wednesdays laps.

I am a 31 yrs old female, also live in ATL.
