All done!! The first 3 minute run, I could have so easily given up :( Not sure why I felt like that. A good, steady pace yet the willpower was being used to the max. But, I kept going and the second 3-minute run posed no problem. So weird. If the gremlins continue to do their worst, bring them on. I ain't no quitter.

Well done you! I've just done the same thing. It was tough, but we did it!

Hey! Well done! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We’re now at the same point because I’ve just been to an osteopath this evening to get my shoulder muscles unknotted and she told me not to run tonight. So I’ll have to do run 2 tomorrow.

I also found my second 3 minute run easier than the first.

Yes, not quite at the same point, I’m just one day ahead now. I don’t like being out of routine tonight but I’m sure it’s good advice.

It's best to rest when needed. Otherwise, no more running for you :(

Well done, that's great. Flatten those gremlins!! Are you using the podcasts so Laura can encourage you and distract you from gremlins? 😀

Thats odd as I found my second 3 minutes worse than the first! Interesting! Well done for completing though x
