W6 Run 3 Complete!

The longest I've EVER run! At the start I thought no way, this is going to not happen. Listening to podcasts helped rather than music. Also compared to last week, it rained, which was actually quite nice. I strangely felt full of energy for the last 5 minutes, 7-20 that was killer, pretty much as seen by the splits below. 3.65KM! very proud of myself.

WELL DONE!! You're smashing it and no mistake. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘€ I've done w5r3 today and so happpyyyy... but incredibly slow ๐ŸŒ Your split times are really good ... when did you start running faster or is that your natural pace? Any tips for w6 would be welcome too! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Nothing wrong with slow Janey1974- itโ€™s the best way as the runs get longer. Youโ€™ll naturally speed up after graduation so keep doing what youโ€™re doing and youโ€™ll smash W6!๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Hey Liz, thanks for your reassurance I appreciate it. It's hard to know if this plodding ( def slow n steady!) will ever pick up some pace. I'm not impatient just curious ... and amazed that I've made it this far haha!!! ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ

Hi Janey, well done you too! That run last week I found incredibly hard, in the full Sun too! I found that the last few minutes of W6R3 I was able to run a little quicker, not sure why. As long as you're not walking, that's fab! I feel like my legs are in concrete during some runs. UGH. We can do this!
