I started the program tonight. I am also using the free podcasts. They are very helpful with the music and the prompts to run and walk. This allows me to complete the goals without looking at my watch every five seconds. I will let you know how it turns out.

I'm curious to know what you guys think of the program. Has it worked for you? What are the pros and cons?

    I started (kinda) this week. I'm running my own distances, but with the same time ratios. I'll let you know in a couple weeks how it turns out...:)

    I'm in the middle of week 6 and I LOVE it. I don't see any cons to it. I mean.....I just ran 20 min straight the other day! Crazy!

    It TOTALLY works and is SOOOOO do-able for ANYONE.

    I had downloaded the PodRunner podcasts from iTunes, but they drove me bonkers. I was still obsessed with when the interval would end. I made a play list of my favorite, upbeat, inspiring songs, and I'm doing much better just listening to those and trying to vaporize a spot in the wall (hard core staring) across the way from the treadmill, or catch a flick on the TV at my local rec center.
