Week 3 Run 1 complete

Took it fairly easy and made sure I was the turtle for the 3 minute runs, upped my pace for the 90 second run. Is it weird I found this run easier than week 2 run 3???

Maybe but I reckon you're just getting into it. I find some runs harder that others and it's not always the first run of a new week. Enjoy your runs and stick to the program -don't be tempted to go too fast!

Well done for getting this far!

Well done. I did wk3 run 1 as well today and preferred running for 3 mins than 2 lots of 90 secs.

Yey! Sounds like your knee didn't let you down... really pleased for you!

I felt the time passed a lot quicker on this run... I think I'm going to prefer not stopping and starting same as Susie4.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Cheers to both, and yes Bobbylou my knee was sound, definitely benefited from that extra days rest. I did find the 3 minutes easier than 2 x 90 secs and felt I got a better rhythm going, although it was a slower pace. Will build that over the next 2 runs as I tend to push myself more for the 3rd run of the week. So far run 2 has generally been the toughest of the week but we shall see!!

We are both smashing it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀
