w3 complete!

Rain put off our ongoing hope to get off road - looked a bit too soft going at the moment so we again were on-road for the third run of the week. And it went really well. Pretty flaked after each of the 3m runs but recovering quickly during the walks - so much quicker than we did when we set out on c25k.

We have peaked ahead though...week 4 seems a bit of a jump and its a bit scary. When doing the 3m walk after the 3m run I was thinking - god I would still be running if this was next week :/

It's heartening to read other people's posts on week 4 - lots of people manage it so we are hoping all will go well!

Every run follows the one before... take it slow and steady and you will be fine. Do... not even begin to worry about the next run...just do it...

Trust the programme... have confidence in yourself and..

" Believe you can and you're halfway there

Thanks!Great advice as always!

Yes, trust the program and don’t forget to slow down on the longer runs. It really helps!

I don't think we will forget but thank you. We are so surprised to have got this far we are beginning to trust it

I decided early on not to look ahead because I knew I would feel daunted. I just went out each run and found out what I had to do there and then. There were a couple of comical occasions when I said "What??!!" to Laura out there on the pavement! 😃

Good idea though we were hoping to tailor our rest days to suit the appropriate runs...have looked at week 4 though perhaps the psychological damage of looking ahead more than compensates for a day's sub-optimal rest so we may follow your strategy!
