Just finished week 3 another early morning Pre 6am run, I've definitely found my perfect time before the rest of world wakes up with the distractions that wake with it.

So far so good looking forward apprehensively to week 4 as seems a big step up from 9 minutes running to 16!

This I'm sure will give me a proper workout and test me mentally but I'm ready to take it on!

Definitely agree with the early morning being the best time! Well done for completing W3. It is a step up but make sure you don't go off too fast and you will have enough in the tank to get through.
