W1 done - my thoughts so far + my first experience with a GPS running watch!
Hi guys, So I'm just finished week 1. I found it hard but extremely rewarding. After enjoying my first two runs immensely I decided to purchase a GPS running watch for day 3 onwards. I just used it for W1D3 and man was it good.
Whenever I felt like I was cheating I looked down at the watch and listened intently at the beeps that told me to start walking and I didn't feel as guilty. Plus, it showed me my route so I can show others where I've been and also gave me a time to strive towards for future runs. I ran/walked for 21 minutes and only covered 1.68 miles but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Based on this week I'm going to find W2 very difficult but I can't wait to rest my legs and then get started again.
My thoughts on C25K in general - awesome! I've never ever been active and for the first time in my life I've gone from despising P.E at school to actually enjoying exercise!
TLDR: GPS watch is really cool and so is C25K!

That's really cool! I considered something similar so I could listen to music bit decided I wanted to concentrate on my mental thoughts to spot myself on if that makes sense. Running has become my quiet alone time.
which app?
