I find it amazing that we are supposed to carry on with our professional and personal lives as if the tech insiders telling us we are all going to die or be slaves "pretty soon" is not, you know, a thing that might stop us in our tracks and demand immediate, collective politics.

Forgot about my Twitter moratorium until I'd had a chance to watch VisionQuest, and may have just seen a heavy spoiler 😭

@VekaFitzfrancis It has podcasty things you can listen to as you go, where they encourage you and tell you when to walk/run, but personally I didn't want that and simply copied the timings listed on the website into a sequential timer app. Not every week goes to plan, but you can just try again

[Dr Rob @rob_heighton]

@VekaFitzfrancis The NHS has a "Couch to 5k" plan meant to get you from walks to half-hour runs. As others have said, you alternate intervals of walking and jogging, and Couch to 5k gives you those timings, gradually building up the running side over nine weeks
