I’m 13 and my cross country team and I made it to the Irish championships, we had to run 2.5miles and it was worth it as we are now the 10th top cross country team in all of Ireland.

I have a 15 year old son who did his 5k in 17:22. He smiled when I told him your time. “not bad,” he says. I finally did your beginner workout today after reading and reading you for weeks… I’m 48, overweight, and managed to do the circuit twice before collapsing in a heap of fat. My skinny child was very supportive, saying “you’ve started, now next year we’ll do a 5K together”. 17:22 I think not, but maybe I can at least finish it. They run 65 miles a week at the peak of season… I’ll be delighted if I can do that many ever! Something to look forward to…

I HATE RUNNING

At least I thought that. I'm a skinny guy too and up till training for my triathlon I never ran. I find running is just like weights. At first it sucks (you feel weak lifting, you feel like you're gonna puke running) but over time you build up a tolerance and the other day I ran 6 miles without a hitch. SIX! That doesn't sound like a lot but I really never have been much of a runner and that seems like a HUGE accomplishment!
