    This is my first day on this site. I also have just started running/walking. I hope to lose a lot of weight, and work with someone who lost 20 pounds using this app! Any tips are certainly appreciated

    My biggest challenge when I started running was to show up. It takes a good three weeks before you are going to start to feel better and then you will want to start to challenge yourself a little more each time. So that would be my advice ...show up and finish strong let the inbetween stuff take care of itself. Good luck.

    Hello! I use a couch to 5K program and am on my 8th week. I struggled through the first 4 weeks and just couldn't stay commited. We just relocated our family almost 2 months ago and I picked back up at the 4 week training. I've been going solid since. Feel free to add me if you are looking for friends or any encouragement on the running focus. I would NEVER have considered myself a "runner" - ever! But now that I am running mileS in solid runs without the walking in between - I absolutely call myself a runner. The running programs work if you stick to them! Trust me, I could barely get through the 1 minute of running during my first week. Now I do almost 30 minutes straight.

    Running is the best! 5 months ago I could barely walk 3 km, but just the other day I was able to run 10 km in a little over one hour. I love everything about it, and it makes me feel so good :)
