W3R1 - Running 3 minutes

[das_vikas]

First run of week3 today and I can run 3 mins. Yay!!!

This programme is amazing and you guys here provide such good encouragement. Thanks everyone!

I keep record of my runs using Strava and noticed that even though I’m in my week 3, my total distance is almost same as what I managed to run on day 1 of week 1.

Is this normal? Anyone else have similar experience? How long does it take to improve the distance?

Thanks Unfit44!

I’ve the same feeling at start of every week too 😀

I start my week on Saturday and then complete my run 2 & 3 on Monday and Wednesday, then take 2 days off before starting the next week.

Saturday because then I can start my run anytime during the day as soon as I manage break out of that feeling

Just checked my stats. My distance w1 and w3 were v similar also. That was surprising. I just did W4R1 today and it was a bit longer. I don't really look at distance tbh. I hadn't actually realised I could 😀. I am such a new runner it is more about actually breathing till.the end of the run 😂🤣😂🤣

We'll done. Good job completing those first 3 minute runs.

It does seem a huge step up, but it feels good completing it.
