    I was straight from the couch too - the first 'run' was a killer!
    I haven't done it in the 9 weeks or whatever it is, maybe around 12, what with work commitments and kids and school and bugs and all sorts.
    What I would say is that there is a 20 minute run which, when you get to it, you won't think you can do - I did a classic double take when I saw what was ahead! But I did it first time and it was fine - in fact it was easier not to stop. After that it is absolutely fine.

    I'm about to do the 20 minute run for the first time and I'm dreading it! I see the number of minutes that I have to run for and I don't think I can do it, but it's great to hear that other people have felt this way and it wasn't as hard as they thought it would be! I hope I can say the same thing after tomorrow night!

    I did the run before the 20 minute run twice 'to make sure I was ready'. I'm a wuss.
