Managed to run the 3 minutes W3R2

Slowed down further (from 7 to 9 min/km according to map my run) and managed through a combination of bon jovi, counting and mantras to make it to the end of the 3 mins. 😀

Definitely not in any hypnotic ‘zone’ yet where I could switch off, but got there! Couldn’t remember the positive phrasing! - was trying to wrack my brain 🧠

I found that i stopped trying to control and anticipate the runs. It was quite surprising.

I have the second one tomorrow.
