Week 3 Run 3 and Audiobooks!

Accidentally started up the audio book ive been listening to this morning and literally ran with it! It was great! I didn’t notice the time so much at all so feel like I've made a great discovery with it :)

Run was ok, is it possible to go too slow?? I’m terrified of week 4 after looking at the five minute run and am tempted to repeat a week 3 run 3 but I think it might be because in my head I’m still not believing in myself.

Right - off to work I go, much love to all xx

There’s no such thing as running too slowly! Embrace the snail! The only way I could progress was learning just how slowly I could run!! If you were able to do w3r3, you’re ready to move on. Just take it nice and slow - you’ll be amazed at what you can do!

Thanks! I’m not looking like a proper runner more of a fast shuffler but progress is progress! I can’t believe I’m starting week 4, I was imagining I’d have failed by now - such a great feeling! X

Too slow? 🐢😂 Not as long as you keep the running action ie a point in each stride where both feet are off the ground, it’s still running. 👍
