I'm 8 weeks into this half marathon programme for absolute beginners.

How's it going for you? I totally wussed out and haven't been since, rather ashamed! My other half joined the gym yesterday and wants me to go with her, it's definitely given me a kick to start running again too, might go for a few sessions on the treadmill to ease back in to it (again!).

@Rikki I just started out too, figured running would be nice when there's not so much time or the weather is too foul to get on the bike. My gf (who runs 3 times a week but never goes out riding with me - boo) got me some adidas trainers as a gift. And now some hardcore cycling mates are starting to call me a traitor...
I'm 44 and my fitness level is OK due to 10k of cycling every year for the past 4 years, so the main thing I guess is to build up slowly to get muscles, tendons and joints to grow used to the impact?
Now I'm just back from my second 'absolute beginner' session. But is this boring?! 5x1 minute jogging/2 minute walking intervals... slowly increasing running time over 6-8 weeks to come... yyyaaawwwwwnn ;-)
