Tried out my new trainers today๐ Felt light, and supportive. Knee pain almost gone. Finding the 3 minute runs hard but kept going at my snail ๐ pace. Can't help but feel worried regarding week 4 but know I must take each week as it comes!๐ณ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ

Well done! Was it the trainers that made the knee pain go or getting used to the running?

Anticipation not apprehension....take every run as it comes, knowing that you are ready for them...
If you keep it steady and slow.... you will be fine
Couch-potato - you sound a bit like i did a week ago. I was having a lot of pains in my legs, some decent shoes seems to have fixed that, 3 minute runs were killing me and i was dreading Wk4.
In fact, so much so that i posted a thread saying i had no idea how i would go from 3 minutes to 5. Someone answered on that thread and told me that after a few minutes your body gets into a rhythm and its not as bad as you think.
I just done the first week 4 run tonight and i have to say its true> i honestly thought leaving the house tonight i had no chance but i feel like i sailed through it and could of run longer. Have faith in yourself, and in the program and just take each run a they come. My new mantra !

No worrying required, just positive thinking because I promise, you will be fine. Trust the program and donโt start too quickly๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ

Hang in there, you'll get there. If I can do it, believe me anyone can! Just take it easy, go slow and find a nice route with lots to look at to distract yourself!
Stick at it and speed doesn't matter. I have finished wk5/2 and so chuffed.
