Week 2 - Done!!

[LadyP79]

Woo hoo - completed week 2. How can 30 extra seconds feel so long???

By the end of Run 3 though I felt pretty good. Recovery time seemed to be getting a bit faster and the runs seemed to be a bit easier. There were times that my legs felt like tree trunks but I managed to complete all the runs.

I'm a little bit apprehensive about starting week 3. I mean if the extra 30 seconds this week seemed a challenge I'm not sure how I am going to feel about 3 minutes. As the saying goes "if the mind is strong, the body will follow" and my mind can be pretty stubborn at times 😊

Happy face on the app at the end of each run 😊

In the same place as you with the same apprehension about week 3 which starts tomorrow.

Positive mind and attitude will get us through

You’ll be fine! I wish I looked that good after a run! 😂 well done!

[LadyP79 in reply to Tasha99]

Ha ha ha thanks!!! I try and take the picture at the end of my walk when I've cooled down a bit. It takes a while to get one where it looks more like a smile than a grimace 😂😂

Congratulations!

It does seem that completing week 2 leaves you very happy. I felt the same and I've seen several W2 completions lately.

All of us can do week 3.

Let's all meet here again in another week and congratulate each other again.

Meantime, rest, recover and enjoy.

We'll done.

[LadyP79 in reply to RobW73]

Thanks! I'll report back next week and let you know how I get on 😊

You look so happy 😊week 3 is in your sights 💪

[LadyP79 in reply to SendWine]

I do feel happy when I've completed a run. Not because I've completed a run but because I finished it 😂😂

Well done - I am also at the same stage, did w2r3 this morning and am (amazingly!) starting to enjoy running. Still on the treadmill though, not brave enough to venture outdoors just yet Looking forward to starting week 3 on Wed/Thurs.

[LadyP79 in reply to HoagyM]

Well done. Doesn't matter where you do it, as long as you're doing it. I look at other runners when I am out and about and wonder how they look so calm and relaxed when I'm huffing and puffing my way through 1 and half minutes!! I'm sure I'll look all breezy like them soon 😀

I'm in the same place as you too! I'm attempting W3R1 tomorrow. I'm looking forward to challenging myself- I've never run for three mins even when I was a regular- I always alternated walking & running. Keep us posted on your progress. We can do this!

[LadyP79 in reply to Hidden]

Positivity right there!!

[Christianne57 Graduate]

I completed W2R3 today and feel the same trepidation as you about doing W3R1 . . .

Loads of inspiring posters on here who are so encouraging and positive 😊 and they all tell us newbies that its I'm possible, not impossible 😊
