I think something is working. W4R3 completed

So I feel like I’m kind of getting the hang of this now, I’m 12 runs in and got a bit of a routine going with the runs. Haven’t missed 1 day yet and proud of it.

I’m switching up my routes and sometimes take my son out with me (he’s on his bike though) to give me some motivation.

After I set up the app and loaded strava to start at the same time, I proceeded to do the warm up walk. I fumbled with my arm strap a bit during the walk as it was the first time I had run with it, I normally just hold my phone. After the 5 minute warm up had finished, I started the 3m run and something happened to the app and I must have paused the timer. I realised after 5 minutes that something wasnt right, checked and sorted it out. Then all was fine.

This was the first run that during it, I felt during that I could keep going longer than the allotted time. I’m looking forward to W5R1 and can’t wait for the graduation run.
