I'm all done with week 3 now, I struggled yesterday completing the 3 minutes run as if had a bit of a lively weekend...I took myself out this morning and managed it fine...next run on Thursday but I think I'm going to repeat last week of week 3 as the next run has a 2x 5 min runs...I'm not sure I'm ready...😬 ...my bones in my legs and feet just ache though ...any tips? I don't have much time for a swim at the moment either.

If you're not running until Thursday I'd try week 4 run 1 and see how it goes. Have you had a gait analysis and got the correct trainers? If not I'd strongly advise it as lots of aches, not to mention injuries can be avoided.

I would definitely give it a go. Trust the programme, you've finished week 3 so are ready for week 4.
