    I just started last Sunday. I have completed wk 1 D3. I am finding it challenging - cardio has never been my thing!. I will probably do another day of wk 1 before I move on to week 2. I am having some hip pain. I really want to be a runner. I think it will be a great stress reliever and it is nice to have some time to myself!

    I've just started this too!

    I hated running at school, but I'm finding that I absolutely love this program. Not only does it provide me with much needed improvement in my fitness - and yes, I can really feel the difference! it also gives me half an hour of thinking time with no interuptions, heaven!

    I've been doing it for 7 weeks in total, but having had a major op on my leg last summer, needed to break for just over a week to recover where I'd done a bit too much too soon. Also had a skiing holiday, so could continue then. It means that I've just repeated week 3. So it will take longer than 9 weeks for me, but I feel absolutely great - so much lighter, a real spring in my step (sorry for the cliche, but it's true!)

    Taking every other day works much better too. Good luck, would love to share progress!
