No, it doesn't matter at all. Running and walking uses different muscles (and some of the same muscles but differently), so the main thing is that you're training up your running muscles to carry on for longer and longer. Well done on the 3 minutes - it feels great, doesn't it?!

Not at all. Going nice and slowly means that you will be able to run for the number of minutes required in these early stages. Sounds like your doing fine!

Don't worry about distance or speed at this stage. You're doing great. Well done on getting to week 3.
That's fantastic! Week three feels like such an achievement because of the increase. Kkeep up the good work!
Slow and steady is the way to make meaningful and sustainable progress. Don't worry and stick with it. It all comes together later in the programme. Keep up the good work.
