Week 3 finished

I did it! Last night I took the advice, walked the 5 minute warm up to the park and embarked on week 4. The 3 minutes felt easier than last week and the 5 minutes felt like a lifetime but I did it! Luckily my breathing was ok; I ran slowly, but my shins were giving me a bit of pain which I pushed through. Pleased with myself? You bet! I am on week 4 for real.

Inspiring!!! I'm just behind you (about to do W3 R3) and was also wondering if I should repeat, but reading your question and all the answers AND seeing that you went on to do W4 R1 and achieved it... I'll try and do the same.

Not what you're looking for?
