Week 5 run 3

[Runner60]

We did it!!! My daughter and I set off nervously to attempt week 5 run 3 last night. She said to me before we set off “Trust the program,”we did and it worked. The first 10 minutes went by so quickly I was surprised. By 15 mins I was a little tired but I knew I could do it and I was delighted when we completed the run. The buzz is still with me today. 😃 thanks for all the advice about the gait analysis and new shoes. My knees are fine today.

Great job... that’s the run that shows you in no uncertain terms that you can do this. Enjoy that buzz, you’ll be getting another dose of it soon.

Super duper, glad to hear your knees are okay. 👍👍👍

Your daughter has it right "Trust the programme", it's second only to "Slow down" as the golden rules.

Delighted is a lovely way to feel. 😃😃😃

Take care with week 6 run 1, some people find it a tricky one, going back to walking intervals. You can do it though, just stay slow and think positive.

Oh, you don't need to be told that do you? 🤦‍♂️

See you on the podium soon 🏃‍♀️🏆🎆

Well run both!! Week 6, l found, more mental than physical. Slow & steady wins this 👍🏻

Thank you for the advice. I do keep having a peek at what’s ahead and I’ve noticed a lot of people say week 6 is tricky. I will take it easy.....well its all I can do haha

Well done!! It’s an amazing feeling isn’t it. I’ve never been sporty at all, never had any interest but by george I wish I’d taken up this years ago. Run 3 is amazing, slow and steady is the way to go and trust the program, that’s the advice I was given and it really works 😃
