W1 R3 fail

Th plan was to go out and complete that run this morning. I left the house all geared u, I got half way through but then I couldn't finish. It was 9:30 and already 21 degrees Celsius.

I'm not really counting this as a fail because I went out and tried.

I will restart week 1 on Tuesday with Run 1.

Have a great day!!

As many will be along to tell you, we don't use the "F" word. There are no failed runs, only practice runs. If you managed R1 and 2, R3 is not beyond you, it was just punishingly hot. Have a day or 2 rest then do R3 again - you won't need to repeat the whole week.

Onwards and upwards. Good work.

Well done for trying in the heat mummy2four.

You only have to complete Week 1 successfully one more time (R3) before you move up to Week 2.

Good luck😊

mummy2four Well done for starting the run! I went out on W1 R2 this morning at 7.45 and it was pretty warm then. I came back home like a wet beetroot. I'll be doing W1 R2 on Tuesday, although won't be able to go out before school run this time, so will be 9.15 ish and am not looking forward to it being any warmer than this morning! Good Luck for your next W3 run! ;)

I do my week days runs in the evening when the OH is home to watch the kids. It's usually cooler by then too. I was planning on giving W1 R3 another go tonight but it doesn't look like it's cooling down at all
