W6 R3 Getting there!

I posted on here a couple of weeks ago, I’d gotten to week 6 run 3 and was finding it really hard, I was thinking I was never going to get beyond 20mins and even that was a struggle. After some most appreciated encouragement on here I carried on, or should I say plodded on. I decided to go back to the beginning of week 5 and took everyone’s advice and slowed down. I think something finally clicked and I found my pace that I need to maintain so I don’t get too tired too soon, sometimes it really is a slow plod but the important thing is that I don’t stop. Today I completed week 6 run 3 and I feel more than ready for week 7. So to anyone thinking of giving up, take your time, go back a few weeks if you need to, slow down but don’t stop!
