I made it. I can't believe I made it. Such a difference between this run to the W2 runs.

I was dreading it, but it's not all that bad. Just go slow slow slow and very steady. I picked up he pace a tiny bit for the last 60 seconds and I do mean a tiny bit. A total of 16 mins running or shuffling as I call it. My run 2 this week is Thursday and I'm looking forward to it after managing to complete today's in pain but not a huge amount and not enough to want to stop. You can do it.

16mins of running ?!?!? Crikey ?!? I'll give it a go 🙂

Give it a go, if you find it to hard you can always repeat week 3 again if you feel you really need to. But try and push on you'll be amazed what you can do already 👍🏻
