Going on to week 4... Go me!

Hello all!

I just finished Week 3 and I'm very proud of myself. I didn't stop during the 3 minute jog. I did slow down a bit, but I never stopped. I'm giving myself a pat on the back.

I should be starting Week 4 tomorrow. The 5 minute jog makes me nervous, but I'm fairly certain I can do it. Just gotta slow down. Does anyone have any other tips for Week 4?

During Week 3, one of my knees got a little sore and tender to the touch. I took a couple days off and it got better. Someone suggested that it was just my knee getting used to the running, but I wanna be safe. Should I invest in a knee brace? I would hate to get better at this jogging just to have my knee give out.

Here goes Week 4. Woohoo!

Not sure about knee maybe see how you go with the longer intervals or pick up a knee support in sports shop for reassurance .

I'm at week 8 every increase I thought I cant it won't happen I started to believe in myself , I think a lot about the people on here and it gets me through.

As I've done look back and stalk a few of the graduates earlier posts to help convince yourself you can do this 😉🏃
