Week 3 again

Started Week 3 again ..... I’ve tried 7 times now to do a complete 3 min run and failed! I’m wondering if I need different shoes? Maybe bouncy ones instead of my gym trainers?

What stops you from getting to 3 minutes are you out of breath if so slow down a lot. Are your legs heavy you may need to drink a lot more . Try again with this advice and see if it helps 😊

Hi

Maybe you are going too fast? My run is very slow; it feels like I am running slower than I walk. Slow and steady is the way to go.

Good luck. I am sure you will get there.

In week 2, you ran for 90 seconds many times. Try not to think about the three minutes. You're running for 90 seconds x 2, just like you did last week. Slow down a little and go for it! You can do it. We're all with you 🏃‍♀
