Week 1, Run 3

End of my first week. Was working away in the week so took my kit and went out in the evening. Found a lake that has a path around it which is 3 miles. Perfect. I did run 3 yesterday. Got up at 6am yesterday so I could go out before it got too hot. I was a little confused. Is every run supposed to be completed three times, thus each week is 9 runs? I thought MJ said on the narrative to repeat a further twice. Now I am worried I have only done 3 and am moving to week 2 too soon. Can anyone help? Being a little ditzy and blonde - must be the heat 🙀

No you do most of the runs three times in the week. Unfortunately the app has one soundtrack for, say, W1. So runs 1, 2 and 3 all tell you that you need to do the run three times.

Then the app will move to W2 and it’s the same again. (Weeks 5 and 6 are the only ones to have three separate soundtracks as they are three different runs through each week).

Lovely photo, well run!

Thank you. I was worried for a bit. Makes sense. The photo is on my route near my home. I call this the mad axeman house....always move a little quicker past it 😂

I hope your playlist has a horror movie tune at the appropriate point? 🤣
