Week 3 Run 1

[Lesjay]

Hi All

So I went on W3R1 today, I kept it really slow, concentrating on my breathing technique and I completed the run successfully, the inner child in me made me jump up and punched in the air when I completed the run, I did have to look around to see if anybody was looking lol, so looking forward to my next run which will be on Sunday, why didn't I join this sooner!!!

Well done you!! I've just completed WK3 and I continually find myself replying to Mr Smooth, aka Michael Johnson!!

I too say it out loud but now I don't mind if people hear!! I also sing along to my tunes as I'm running so I think I'm well past the 'do I care what people think of me?' stage!! Most of the other runners that I encounter just smile or say morning, so I think they've all done pretty much the same thing!!

Keep up the good work 🏃🏻‍♀️👍🏼

I will keep up the good work and thank you, good luck with week 4, keep us posted on how your doing

You have to talk to your coach and show how much you're enjoying it, otherwise they get a bit upset. And I couldn't bear Mr Smooth being frowny....

I am sure everyone of us has done the Meg Ryan scene on a run (oops am I the only one?) or at the least, the Tim Henman fist pump.

Lol this reminds me of when I completed r3 of week 9 a couple of years back ,I was running along a path in some fields near me ,and somebody had left a tyre on path ,0just as Laura said that's it I jumped over tyre and punched the air 😀congratulations and well done

Well who knows what I will do when I graduate if I did that on week 3, lol

I'm on week 3 now and it's definitely my favourite week so far! I find it much easier than week 2. Got my final run tomorrow and then I can't wait to see what week 4 holds. Good luck!

[Lesjay Graduate in reply to kirstydurkan]

Thank you, good luck for week 4, I'm actually looking forward to my runs now and I never in a million years would have thought I would say that, but just goes to show with the right program, and lovely people to motivate you there is no stopping us

Good luck for you final WK3 run 👍🏼 WK3 has definitely been my favourite week. I'm due to start WK4 tomorrow so let's hope that I feel the same kind of love for WK4 as I do for WK3!!
