Hi all,
Well yesterday I did w3r1, I'd been scared to attempt it, but surprisingly found it ok until I got to the last 3 minute run. At one point I thought I couldn't keep going as I was knackered and my shins hurt, but I slowed right down until I was probably virtually crawling, did that for about 10 seconds then picked it up again......BUT I DIDN'T STOP.....Yeah !! W3R2 tomorrow.......eek hope it's ok......I am feeling really proud of myself though as I've not ran for probably 35 years.
I’ve just completed W3 R2 this evening, definitely found it easier than R1 and even managed an extra 2 more 90 seconds runs after I’d completed R2.
Keep going 
Well done... slow and steady...then slower as you head out
Wow that's fab, well done 👍
See where you talk about shins hurting- could that be footwear? I went out and got proper running shoes after W2 R1 ... difference was unbelievable. No shin pain at all now. I had thought I would get good footwear around week 4 but couldn’t wait that long: as soon as the runs went from 60 to 90 seconds I had to get it sorted.
Well done for completing. I agree with others about the shin pain - I’m not an expert but I would get your gait analysed.
I hope your next run is pain free!
