W3R1 😩

Was a bit anxious about this one! 3minutes of running and I’m not gong to pretend it wasn’t hard. On a positive note, I didn’t get too breathless and it’s only 23 mins total. On the negative, my legs felt like they were going to give way and my left knee hurts like hell 😡 I just hope it gets easier. BUT...... I didn’t stop and I completed it!

Well done. I have my first wk3 run in the morning. I kind of dread and look forward to each run. I’m a bit scared of running for 3minutes!

Well done. Don’t hurt your knee though.

Well done! It’s funny how each week the run we thought was hard becomes our friend as we are given a new enemy to deal with!!!

I just did this too! Weirdly I wasn't anxious as I looked at it as just 4 runs, it's the same total amount of running as last week, and 2 of the runs are 90 seconds which you've done 6 of before!

Perhaps I should have been anxious, as that last run was so tough! It felt like W1R1 and I started doing the dreaded 'clock watch'. Made it through though! And well done to you for the same!
