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. 😁👀 I've done w5r3 today and so happpyyyy... but incredibly slow 🐌 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! 👍🏼🏃🏼‍♀️

Nothing wrong with slow Janey1974- it’s the best way as the runs get longer. You’ll naturally speed up after graduation so keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll smash W6!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

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!!! 😅🐌🐌🐌

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!
