W3R3

Had an extra day's rest due to snow, ice & bitter head wind yesterday. Went out this afternoon & didn't mind the cold after a few minutes.

I know I run very slowly, but today during a 3 minute run I was overtaken by a chap walking home from the shops. The shame!

Anyway, week 3 in the bag. Bring on week 4.

Aww bless Sarah. I'm on my last week 2 jog which has been easy. I'm dreading week 4 to be honest as my knees are so sore.

I’m sure I saw someone mention that there’s a link to some knee strengthening exercises in the pinned post somewhere, maybe they might help with the soreness. Or it could be down to your footwear 😕. Hope they settle down soon 🤞

I thought I'd follow up on this 21 days later; I bought new shoes (brooks) and my knees are amazing. I'm preparing for week 5 run 3 😀

Lol! That’s great news, glad it was an easy fix. Best of luck with W5R3, I’ll be doing it myself next week 😁

One day I’ll run a marathon... the marathon walking record is sub 3 hours... I know I’ll never get sub 3... it happens... and you’re on week 3, well you were... great job on it. Enjoy week 4.

There is no shame! You’re ahead of the curve with the Japanese slow jogging movement!

I’ve been doing this and it’s been amazing! I am very much a 🐌 and recent graduate!

In my W4R2 I noticed that my running was slower than someone walking to work through the snow! But we're on a journey and we're getting fitter so here's to slow!
