Up early to go and do my first run of W3 but I'm nervous and very worried that I will not manage the 3 min run. I'm going to give it a go but have a feeling I won't be able to keep going for 3 mins...wish me luck !

You got this, good luck! Just remember to go at a slow pace and I'm sure you'll be able to do the 3 mins!

You can do it! I completed week 3 last week - starting week 4 tomorrow!

The 3 minutes were hard at first but it got easier. The main thing I did was slow down - it made it so much easier and more enjoyable. Good Luck :-)

Do t be nervous 😟 just find a sustainable pace and follow the instructions

Good luck🏃🏾‍♀️👍

Trust the programme. You have been running regularly for two weeks now. You're body is ready for this. It's challenging but not too much that it is beyond you.

Each week now you are going to push yourself further than you thought you could. The structure of the programme allows this. Enjoy the experience of surprising yourself with what you can achieve.

Just finished w3 start w4 soon tho running on a treadmill so wondering if I should graduate to outside before tackling week 4. Good luck though I felt a real sense of achievement this week in managing 3 mins it felt hard but the 90 mins felt easier by r3!

The very worst that can happen is that you do not manage to complete the run...................so you have a rest day and try again, like thousands before you.............Far worse things happen....Donald Trump is still US president, global warming is melting the ice caps, I have lost my running watch................
