You'll be fine! Just about everybody is worried about that one - but if you read the posts we're all elated afterwards! Laura is a great teacher.

We'll be rooting for youπŸ‘

And looking forward to your post!

I was inspired by all the positive comments on this site, they really make you feel like you can do it - and you will, and you will feel fantastic afterwards!

Good luck

Breathe deeply and slowly even on the warm up walk. Set off running nice and steady, keep plodding and breathing until Laura says stop. Go home, post on the Forum you did it! Julie

You can do it! You really can! Run 3 is a mind battle, but you will be victorious! As JaySee says, everyone worried over this run, but you will make it and feel absolutely amazing afterwards... It's a real milestone run. Kick your gremlins into touch and go for it. Good luck! :)
