I’m trying not to think about w3 yet - I’ve still got w2r3 to do! 😖 let us know how you get on & good luck

Easier than I thought , when you get there just pace yourself and you'll be surprised... Good luck

Put some really good music on and maybe it will distract you from counting the minutes Good luck, you can do this!!

I did run 2, week 3 today!! Don’t worry you’ll be fine! I was so anxious because I only just managed week 2! But the programme works - it wasn’t easy but I definitely felt more in control. Just keep it slow and you’ll smash it x

Cheers , you were right I did smash it , well pleased , good luck with your progress

I was the same, ansoloutely dreaded it. Trust the programme, it really does work. Don't go too fast, snail jogging is the key, and yes a bit of music can help. Go for it!!!!

Daft question how do you listen to the app telling you when to run or walk and music....

[Crittermad Graduate in reply to GM32]

Put your music on first (I use iPhone) then open and use c25k app - you hear the music and Sarah M (in my case) over the top of it

[GM32 in reply to Crittermad]

Cool. Will try that. Cheers

Focus on your music, not the time 💁🏻‍♀️

[CarolineKC Graduate]

Don't worry - tie your shoes up - and start - if you have done week two you can do week three - it's not magic it's science. And when you have done week three you can do the next and so on until the podium....(it's science but also a kind of magic!)

If anything can get you through it will be the support on this forum! The only thing I would add is “Rythym” and form. Once you get your rythym the time goes really quickly, I’ll be testing it to the limit on Sunday W5R3 ✊👍
