Can't say this last run was easy. My legs feel sore and I struggled with the last 3 min run. Nervous for week 4 now. Beautiful morning though... happy Friday to all ๐Ÿ˜Š

Well done. I'm sure after a days rest you'll be ready for week 4. I'm just heading out for my final fun of week 3 not really looking forward to it but determined to try and get through it. It's a lovely morning for it.๐Ÿ˜Š

Exactly how I felt. How did you get on? ๐Ÿ˜Š

I managed it but the last 3 minute run felt like it went on forever. ๐Ÿ˜ฎOnce I got home and cooled down I felt ok although I'm not exactly looking forward to week 4! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Well done for doing it. I did wk3r2 last night and my back feels stiff this morning! I wonder whether a lot of people find week 3 and 4 tough, once some of the novelty has worn off?

That's a good point. I've heard most people drop out on week 4/5 so could be why.

I had a stiff shoulder and neck last week and know it was because I spend too much time looking at my feet rather than ahead.

Hope your back is better in time for your next run.

Well I think the weather is going to be cooler tomorrow which may help. We can do this. I've planned to go tomorrow morning around 9am so will let you know how I get on. Ahhh week 4 ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Just checked the weather and is supposed to be cooler tomorrow so it should be a little easier for you, it definitely makes it that little bit harder in the heat.

I usually run Mon, Wed & Fri but we're away until Tues so not sure whether to wait until Tues night to run again as not too sure of routes where I am!

Would it be possible to do Tues, Thurs & Sat this week? Sometimes it's hard working out the logistics. I have been getting up earlier than usual just to get it in before the kids wake up and life gets crazy ๐Ÿ˜œ just enjoy your time away for the next few days ๐Ÿ˜Š

That's what I've decided to just change the days for this week ๐Ÿ˜Š. Good luck with your 1st run of week 4. ๐Ÿ˜€
