Falcn- I’ve just completed run 3 - it’s a doddle and I am not a natural runner!

So you don't want to be a runner then?

Relax and enjoy it.

Good Post in that link. Thank you. I am not scared of it and I do see every run as a prep for the next. I am just airing my apprehension I guess.

You will be ready for it when you get there and you will get an enormous buzz from the achievement. Take it slow and just keep going.

I've just done week 5 run 1 this morning. I'll be interested to read how you get on with run 3! We just need to #trusttheplan :D

Well, I made it. Finished week 5 and to be honest I found it wasn't as bad as I had imagined. I did take my dog with me who kept my mind off the run so before I knew it Michael Johnson was telling me only 5 more minutes of running.

Thanks for all the encouragement on here. Much appreciated.
