Week 3 done

Well that was a challenge but it’s done. On my final run of the week it occurred to me that I might be walking too quickly. That’s the easy bit so seem to be going for it during the walk but slowed that a little and I wouldn’t describe my run as comfortable but it was manageable, just.

1/3rd of the way through the programme and I think this is me finding what works for me. Lots more lessons to come through the remaining 2/3rds but as long as I still here I’m happy

Well done.

Your walking pace should be as fast as you can manage, whilst still being able to talk clear ungasping sentences.......... likewise with the running.

Good work ! ⭐️ One of the best things about doing this programme, for me, has been getting to understand my capabilities and what works for me. Glad you’re finding that too ! Happy running 😀
