3 min runs... smashed

Was dreading the 3 min runs today. I did it! The last one was a struggle to reach the end but I feel good now. Did less distance this time which I found strange when having the longer runs.

But roll on run 2 starting to enjoy the runs and look forward to the next one.

Well done, you're getting there! You'll be surprised how quickly you get stronger as you move through the programme. Good luck!

Iran w3r1 this morning, and felt today's session was shorter in time than last week, so I did a very gentle jog back to my starting point at the end of the session (I run a couple of laps of the village common and found I was quite a way short of my normal finish point)

I felt the same and today I've just done week 6, run 1. I found the timings odd but i think its a deliberate step in the app. Sometimes a bit quicker, sometimes a bit longer. I think they build the stamina first then work on the distance and speed. Well done though.... feeling fab i bet
