Done it!! It was tough, calves hurt, lungs felt overworked to say the least, but recovery was quite quick, next run will be interesting. Felt the same on W1R1 so it is working. And I feel good.

Hi. I’m on W3 R3. I’m feeling anxious about starting W4 and running 5 mins!! Running 3mins is tricky enough and I give a silent cheer when the Pod cast tells me to stop 😝 Well done for your run 😁

Well done, the five minutes were a dread but it was done, not easy but then nor was W1R1! Take it slowly.

I did that one today. Almost gave up at the first 3 min run -I thought there's no way I can do 5! But then I thought just give it a go & I did it. Felt very pleased with myself. Well done for completing it too! Onto R2.....
