Keep going I just finished week 3, I thought the 3 minute run was going to kill me but I’m still here!

I’ve found that getting a couple of walks in on rest days helps keep the stiffness at bay

Oh thanks I will try that , the stiffness soon goes once I start running but will try that out as I was wondering if I should do something on my rest days

Great start to this. Rest days are a rest from running, it’s advisable to stay active, walking, swimming, cycling, yoga, Pilates, joint strengthening work... anything but running.
