Thanks i actually enjoyed this week with the longer runs and less stopping and starting not sure i will feel the same tomorrow morning after starting week 4 though good luck with the rest of week 3.

Yes at least there are less runs to start with and you know where uou are more. I found the eight one minute ones relentless.

Same here well actually it was the walks in between that got me i had really bad shin splints for the first 2 weeks and could barely do the 5 min cool down walk afterwards, just shows how your body adapts as now my legs still hurt a bit but nowhere near as much as the first 2 weeks and i can walk home fine rather than crawling along the pavement.

You are doing great. It's my breathing more than my legs that's the hassle. She says recover in 90 secs but that's not enough! I have done week 3 run 2 though and will get out later today or tomorrow and try run 3. Think I may repeat it a few more times as you did till I am happier and more comfortable before moving on. Weekm4 looks daunting ( but then so did weeks two and three). Good luck to you and keep posting.
