I did this earlier, I don't think I can do week 3, I might repeat week 2 first

No problem with repeating - if you haven’t done much exercise recently then it’s a great way to work on style and build up stamina. I’m on my fourth repeat of week 1 so I’m an expert on this 😄

Well done for completing your run. 😀

Why don’t you think you need to repeat W2? The only time it’s necessary is if you don’t get through a run for whatever reason. The programme cleverly prepares us for each new challenge, so your body will be ready to tackle W3, really it will.

Take it as slow as you need. Slower than walking pace if needs be. Bet you’ll surprise yourself! Go on, give it a try! 😀😀

I'll try but I don't think I can do it straight away

Have a couple of rest days and see how you feel. Good luck! 😀

Way to go. You probably can do week 3... but repeating would build more strength, your call... just don’t build yourself a mental wall. Whatever you choose, have fun doing it.

I feel completely the same about starting week 3 but then I remember feeling the same way about starting week 2 ! And I just completed that - we won’t know if we can do it unless we try 💪🏻 Good luck
