W3 in the bag!

Morning fellow runners! After an initial bad start (running on the road and subsequent knee injury) I’m not loving this. It’s not easy, but 3 weeks in and I’m actually excited about getting to the gym for W4R1 later. What a transformation!! Get scared when I look ahead to future weeks and see the big step up in running time, but so far so good. Have a great running week!

Sounds familiar. I'm now running on grass at the local park to alleviate pressure on the old knees. So far it has made a difference

Don’t worry about those steps up... you’ll be ready. Good job on those three weeks... enjoy that session later.
