Week 3 done...but feeling worried...

Very pleased to say that I have just completed week 3 but I really struggled through the last 3 minute run. So although I was very pleased I also feel worried about doing a 5 min run in week 4.... Not sure if I just had a "Sunday" feeling today or I walked too far with the dog this afternoon.

I will take my rest day tomorrow and be out on Tues eve to start week 4... but perhaps I may have to repeat week 3 until I move forward... watch this space :-)

Just take your time, start off really steady and I am sure you will surprise yourself :)

If you have done week 3, (well done by the way), you should be ready and prepared for week 4. Give it a go...

I remember being worried, but as Henpen says, if you've done W3 then you are ready for W4. And I bet you'll surprise yourself.

The first 5 minuter might be a struggle and I confess that I only just about managed 3 of those 5 minutes but I managed the 2nd and, from that moment on everything became do-able - albeit massively challenging too!

Good luck with the rest - take it steady and you'll do great.

Agree with the above, you will amaze yourself. And if you find you do have to repeat week 3, well, thats fine too. Just go for it and enjoy

Thanks for all your support :-) I'm going to give it a go and hopefully I will surprise myself. I'm going to try and run slower, but with the length of my legs I could walk quicker!

Yes, give it a go, the programme is designed so that you can make those leaps. Slow and steady, I too can walk faster than I run, but speed will come eventually.

Well done on completeing week 2 Andy :D try Week4 R1 see how it goes :D doing mine Tomorrow am :D
