So sorry for that awful experience!!! This really does not sound like a sensible beginners program at all!! However, I am impressed how dedicated you are. I am not sure if returning there makes a lot of sense since it does not sound like you are getting the support you should be getting. 400 meters running in one go for a beginner. To put it into perspective: I am an average runner in my opinion and it would take be between 2.5 and 3 minutes to run 400 meters. For a beginner speed, I would think 4 minutes for 400 meters is already respectable!! And no way is running 4 minutes, walking one minute a good beginners rythm! I am really quite mad at the people organising this as things like that are just the best way to keep motivated people from actually taking up running!
I hope you had better success with the app that you got. And remember: it does not matter how slow you are now, you will get faster just by getting out there and training. And as soon as you start out on your run you are already one big step ahead of all the people who did not make the effort to go on a run!
