Week 3 - the fearsome 3minutes!!

[P1glet1]

So I did my W3R1 on Sunday and it felt like a huge move from 90s to 3mins of running, At some points I had to slow to a crawl and I felt pretty disheartened. On the plus side, it was the first time that I had been brave enough to run outdoors - no one pointed or stared. Whoop whoop!! Stuck with it, another beautiful day outside, have just come back from doing W3R2 and oh my goodness, it was so much better. I was even smiling when I managed to complete that first 3min run and didn't feel like I would keel over.

Did anyone else find this?

Congrats! I completed W3R1 yesterday. I did manage to run all of the runs but I feel like I'm jogging on the spot sometimes. What doesn't help is that the homeward stretch of my run is uphill! R2 is tomorrow.

No-one really bats an eyelid when I go for my runs. Even if they do, I'm too busy concentrating on making it to the end of the run to care!

Hi. I totally thought I was going to die on the first week3 run in that last few minutes, but the second time of doing it a few days later was loads easier. Let's hope run 3 is easier again!!!
