Installed the app and just got back from the first session. Anyone else interested?

I know it says take a day off, but has anyone done two days back to back?

I've run 3 days in a row a number of times and even up to 4. I do CrossFit most days. I've done either CrossFit or running every day for months. If you feel up to it, go for it!

Just finished W3D3 - NO CLUE how im supposed to survive the 3min run followed by 5min run of week 4....

I survived it by pig-headedness. Run slower if you need to. If its faster than walking and you are using a running gait (both feet off the ground at once) it counts.

You can do it! It's mind over matter.

Major progress today. I have been struggling with runners knee, but trying to change things up to work through it. I went for my run today (W7D3) and wore an older pair of shoes (Brooks) and really concentrated on shortening my stride. I'm tall 5'11", so my tendency is to want to use a longer stride. I shortened my stride by about 4" and increased my cadence by about 10 strides per minute. I finished the 22 minute run without any pain. Amazing!

Did my run this morning after a 4 day break. Not a good thing. Had to stop & walk once but after a min & half I made myself start back up. Happy I finished but disappointed I didn't run the whole thing. I hope the rest if the day goes better!

I did week 6 day 1. I can't believe I made it. 10 minutes straight of running. Twice!

Awesome! Congratulations! It's amazing how the time increases in the last few weeks of the program! Does your program have a 20 min run on W6D3?

Don't look now but you're a runner.

That plan really works....I find it kind of amazing. I never ever thought I could be a runner.....now I cannot imagine my life without it.

Crushed my circuit training today. Feeling better after bombing my run yesterday. Still debating about doing a 5K on Labor Day. Don't know why I'm so hesitant. It's not like its my first. I think I'm scared because I should be able to run the while thing so I'm afraid of letting myself down if I end up walking part of it. Isn't that silly?? There, now my heart is on the table. Be gentle please.

Well for one thing, we always do better on race day than in training. The enthusiasm of the event and the crowd will pump you up and carry you farther than normal. So that right there will help. But even if it doesn't....I've never been to a run where people didn't start walking within the first 2 minutes. People are going to walk and there's no shame in it. I still have days where I can't run 5K without walking, and other days where I feel like I can run a marathon. So my point is go and have fun, and if you have to walk for a minute don't worry about it. You'll still finish and have reason to be proud.

Thank you BTB.

W6d2 was hard! I had to run slow for the last interval. But I did it! This is when the rubber hits the road and each day just gets harder. I remember it from before. I will do it. Sheer determination. Friday I will be 2/3 of the way there.

Keep it up Mistysj. Your a winner!!
