Well, I've just done my first day on this program. I could only do 6 reps instead of the recommended 8 but it just means I've got to stay on week 1 until I get there.

I've tried this once before with hubby which was easier, because he is slower than me and I wasn't tempted to go too fast. I think that was my problem today. Anyway, he self-diagnosed shin splints and quit altogether; I can't even get him to come for a walk with me and the dog. Sad, but he is an adult and makes his own choices.

  • That's great that you are doing this, and you will be able to do it!

    I started here 5 weeks ago, and at first, could run 5 min, walk 1 min, run 5, walk 1 etc for 5 km. I can now run for over 35 minutes without any walking breaks! It is really amazing to see my improvement, and in such a short time!
