    Awesome! Running/jogging is something I really struggle with. I made it for 9 minutes a couple days ago! Lol! :laugh:

    Congrats! I'm working on getting there!

    Well done! Bet you feel great. I am managing to run for between 4 and 5 miles now. Never in my life thought that I would be doing that. Something I have never found easy and still dont now - but feel so good when I get back!! Such an achievement. Keep going!! X

    Congratulations! I HATE running but LOVE the way it makes me feel. I can relate to how proud you are of yourself right about now. I'm at a mile and plan to start adding a quarter mile per week next week (running 3 times/week). Hopefully I'll be where you ae in a month. :)

    That's terrific! I am working up to a 5K at the end of may, and I managed 1.5 miles yesterday! It is amazing to feel like I challenge my body to achieve a new fitness goal! However, my time is not so good (12 min mile), but it is a far cry from not being able to do it at all! Keep up the good work!

    Well done you!

    It is impressive because running is not as easy as many other bits of equipment in a gym.

    I only started running 4 months ago and back then I could barely run for 10 minutes. This week I ran 9k in an hour without stopping. It is amazing how quickly the muscles build and your body adapts.

    You'll be running a half marathon before you know it :smile:
