  • Hmm on second thoughts, I think I'll try and better my time by using the 5k pacer app first and go from there! Then hopefully when I go to a 10k I'll be ready to run a little quicker!
  • Yep there's no way I'm giving up or stopping. I will definitely miss the structure though so think ill have to go with another app. I think I'll go with the 10k option rather than the faster 5k.

I'm amazed by the progress in what, a week and a half? Maybe I can do this. Also, big mental breakthrough today when I ran when it was still slightly…
  • Hi guys and girls, 26/m with a history of knee problems an absolute hate for running! Used to be in pretty good shape in my early 20's but long hours at a desk job and life getting in the way has seen to that and I need to get back to where I want to be.
