As I started this evening I thought I would struggle with the 3 minute runs but they were ok AND I enjoyed them! Bonus!

I was lucky - a brief break in the rain! I seem to have dodged the showers so far, I am sure my time will come!

Haha, well done... I'm in my 3rd week and have already had the need to wring my underwear out twice 😂

Run 3 today and the rain is coming! Maybe today is the day I run in the rain!

It does seem to give me the grim determination to get through... and the incentive to get back to the car quicker..!! 😉

Have a great run today TeeJayTee... mine is planned for tomorrow (in the rain) 🙈

Hey TJT, it was easier than I thought it would be, was a bit apprehensive if I'm being honest, wasn't looking forward to the 2nd 3 minute run, but I got through it, turned the ya down a bit, to 9.5k/hr and was still a little bit "legs of rubber" But I managed to finish, shower and walk to the car with barely a twinge ...

One more to do, and then I'll be on week four... but in Spain!!!! So will be running outside, could think of worse places ...

How's your day been?

Oooooh fantastic, sounds like you have done brilliantly! Week four in Spain sounds amazing. I have week 8 in Italy... really looking forward to it. Run 2 for me today. I don't look at speed at all, I am just pleased to complete it!
