Week 3-Day 1

[AmandaDawn]

I completed week 3- Run 1, and slowing my pace last week definitely helped with this one. Didn't stop during either of the 3 min runs.. and I did 2- 1 min 30 runs for the 5 min cool down at the end (My running partner did an additional 3 min and I didn't think I had it in me but after I did the first 1 min 30 self challenge I Just wanted to do another so off I went with a second round) I cool down with a 10 min walk home anyhow and I felt the need to challenge myself a little more. I should add tho, I do 2 sets of 200 escarpment stairs in the middle of these runs and today I did 3 sets. So I'm very proud of myself today after last weeks hurdle... Loving this. Bring on day 2!

Well done..but keep it slow and steady and leave your other exercise for non run days? Just follow the plan and run each run as you need to... as the runs get longer, you will find you have a good pace and you reach the podium injury free too

Lots f extra exercise on rest days will help your core strength and stamina too.. strength exercises, squats etc etc...
