I made it! 25mins nonstop, I would never have thought I could do that. Delayed by 1 day as knew it’d be loads cooler today, it made suuccchhh a difference. I actually found it borderline easier than the 20min run? Still absolute hell thou. Did a diff route to my usual as advised and did help. Different scene etc took my mind off the shins and feet burning after about 5mins. Even had a little left in the tank to sprint the last 60secs. Looking forward to working on pace now. Happy bunny right here! Bring on w7

Well done!! I found R3W6 to be the toughest yet. I did mine yesterday, rest day today and on it again tomorrow. Fingers crossed R1W7 will be a bit easier having done 25 mins once already. We can live in hope 😂

Let’s hope and pray! How did you manage with that heat yesterday!! I’ve got race for life Sunday so timed it perfectly, ish. Just hope it’s as cool as today. X

Ahh well I go to my mums round the corner and use her treadmill, I haven't run outside yet, I'm too embarrassed lol. It was actually my second attempt at run 3, massive fail the first time as it was just too muggy on Monday. I came up with the ingenious idea of placing a big fan in front of the treadmill on full blast and it helped a LOT! 🤣

So pleased for you Claire. Well done! 👍 I'll keep the changing route thing in mind when I attempt W6R3 on Sat. I'm on R2 tomorrow (Thurs).
