Was dreading this one as it seemed a bit of a leap! But I just did it!! 😊 Had to do it on a treadmill but it was all good. Not sure if that makes it easier??

Well done!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I find the treadmill much easier too. Having an extra rest day today, as I’ve got a stinking cold. Back to it tomorrow I hope.

Yeah I’ve had a couple of days off, think I was procrastinating as I was worried about starting the 3rd week! 😂 Hope you’re cold clears up soon.

Yes I found I wasn’t worrying about anything else so I found it a bit easier. And I guess because everything’s constant it’s easier too. But that will probably turn into boring, the better we get at it? Plus I’ve struggled a little at 8pm ish, as running into the cold wind has been a bit challenging!

I prefer the treadmill- I've just completed W3R3 today on the treadmill. Onto week 4!

Well done- just did my W4R1 - thought 5 minutes would be hell but not as bad as I’d thought!

Good luck on the rest of W3. I think once you prove to yourself you can do it you relax a bit. Well I do. I had to psych myself up to start W3. We can do it - we got this.
