    Squidgeypaw, thank you for that, I just kind of mademine up last time because they didnt have an easy enough level, did you find an app that did 30seconds?

    How do we want to document this?

    At first I just ran as much as possible in the time gaps! You don't have to do exactly what the app says and you can repeat weeks as many times as you need to :) I actually ended up skipping a week because I'd made so much progress - the app is really good for beginners :)

    And Zombies Run = :heart: love that app xD

    Wow I am really excited to have so many friends joining in. I am also intimidated by my fitness level but I am just going to do my best. Some friends suggested repeating weeks if it becomes too difficult. I would like to keep this going as a group. Let me see what I can do...anyone want to pick a name?

    you'll get into the swing of things before you even notice it - remember, it's to build fitness, you don't have to have it before you start!!

    And names....hmmmm.

    I'll be starting Week 2 tomorrow if my knees cooperate! (I suspect I have arthritis, they're better with use. Don't always get out for my walks though.)

    During week one, at the point where I thought I'd fall over because I couldn't run/jog anymore was when it beeps to start walking. I don't know how I'm going to pull off 90 seconds this week. Someone will find me passed out on the side of the road. lol

    I'm on W6D3 which is a 22 min run. I went out on my own last night but could only manage 12 mins. Last week I ran with a friend and ran 20 mins non stop and on Sunday I went with my cousin, she runs all the time, and ran a full 5k with her in 36 mins. I know I can do it but I seem to be better with someone else. I'll try again tomorrow night and i'll push myself to even do a few extra mins a night.

    Please feel free to add me.

    I just started it again....I attempted it a while back and quit after a couple of weeks due to laziness, lol.

    I will be doing week 1 day 2 this evening. I only run outdoors, and I prefer to run in the evenings....I am really really not a morning person.

    I just finished W4D3. I never thought I'd ever be a runner (even if I do go slower than a turtle!). Have fun running everyone :) (and feel free to add me if you'd like)
