W3 R1 completed, with the best advice!

Well after a week of putting it off and redoing week2 because i didnt think i could run for 3mins, ive just done run1 of week 3 without stopping! I think the best advice is given in this run, "imagen you are running along a hedge and there is a person on the other side and they cant tell if you are walking or running" this really helped me on this run.

It does work, you are right. I remember that piece of advice because it helps you to run more economically and to realise you can slow down.

The other great thing about the programme is that each week you will surprise yourself by being able to do more than you thought you could
