Just finished W1 R3 and after following the advice on the forum to slow down a bit and shorten my stride if feeling the pace I managed to complete W1 R3 relatively successfully I have a couple of days rest now due to work commitments so will begin W2 on Friday all being well.

Well done, I did the same, W1 R3 tonight and definitely found it easier than the 1st 2. That may also have been a less hilly route though 😀

I’m on wk 2 on Friday too so good luck x

Well done to you too I like this slow start then slow build up it takes away that daunting feeling whenever I tried to run before. Enjoy the rest days and good luck on Friday!

Great job... finding that happy pace isn’t easy at the start, but now you’re there or thereabouts it will take you far. Your legs will love a two day break, have fun on Friday.
