Due to start week 4 R1 tomorrow and having checked out the plan feeling really nervous. Can’t imagine I am going to do 5 mins - struggled with the 3 mins in wk 3. Finding it so tough 😓

Same for me tomorrow - seems a big step up from week 3 but then I said that same about week 2 to week 3.

I expect the run 1 to be difficult ,run 2 to be as bad and run 3 to be easier.

We can do it !

Trust me you can do this, I just completed this run and it was easier than I expected, just went slower than usual, good luck :-)

Don’t worry! Although that’s easier said than done! I panicked about every increase but your previous runs have prepared you. 💪🏽

Don't worry, you'll be great. If you're using the app just watch out when they start talking and you think you're done, they are actually just telling you that there's a minute to go (you'd think I'd learn but I got caught out by that on every run!) Go slow, you can do it.

This morning I completed W4R2, at the end of week 3 I was so apprehensive about stepping up to week 4 yet I did it and it was fine!!

Run 2 today, first 5 felt fine and second was definitely a bit harder, but the programme is working so keep your faith and keep going!!!

Not what you're looking for?

I has just finished run 1 of week 3 and overall I would summarise it as challenging but manageable.
