Wk3R1 done phew!

Who knew 3 mins was so long?! That first 3 minute section was tough going at the end. The second one wasn’t as bad I thought though. Icy bits appearing on the trail/paths/grass on my route now so I was being extra snail-like today. Tired but chuffed that I’m making progress :)

Well done!! I’m also wk 3 run 1 and strangely found the 2nd 3 min run harder. Clearly we’re all at different levels, but I agree that I never knew 3 mins was so long. Are you enjoying it? Keep it up!!

Well done! You are an inspiration to me as I am about to start W3R1 🙄 & don’t know if I can run 3 mins. I have read that the slower you go to start off with the better it is for your body...which is good as I run really slow! Meanwhile in Australia we are sweltering through the summer, so no cold weather tips sorry 😐

Oh good luck in the heat! I need the cold and a little rain too 😃 Fortunately I’m in West coast of Scotland so no problem there!

You’ll be fine on your run, just go slowly and enjoy x
