Wk 3 Complete

Another notch in my belt. The 3 min interval runs wasn't too difficult. However I had noticed that the overall distance covered (Since I'm using a treadmill) came up a bit less compared to Wk 2. I know early on different levels of intensity and endurance would be tested, so I'm not complaining. Just something I noticed.

I did week 2 run yesterday morning and 1st week 3 run tonight the distance was definitely less at the halfway point but running for longer is probably the goal rather than Kms ...I found it not too bad but calf muscles are a bit tighter than I envisaged!!

At this stage I wouldn't worry about the distance covered. It's all about gradually building up your running legs, so just take it slow and steady, that way you'll reduce the risk of injury. Have faith, the programme really does work.

And don't forget to have your rest days. It's really important to have a day off running after each run, but you can still be doing other low impact exercise such as the cross trainer, ski machine, static bike or any other stuff in the gym that doesn't involve you pounding your feet.

Good luck.
