Week 3 Run 1

Wow! That just killed me. It felt brutal! I don’t think I’ve ran 3 minutes continuously for years!!! My legs burnt, I had a stitch but I didn’t stop! And now I feel great for having pushed on through.

I’m a lot less sweaty after a shower but my face is still bright red 🥵😂

That's fantastic, well done on your run. I now wear a bright orange top in the hope no one notices my tomato face!

Good luck! I’m sure you’ll smash it! Definitely feel good for pushing through afterwards!

Oh god this will be me tomorrow ... I don’t know how I’m going to run for 3 mins 🙈

I struggle with 90 seconds at the moment .

Well done to you 😁😁

Yep that was me a couple of weeks back and believe me you will progress on as we all have bit by bit minute by minute. I reckon in a couple of weeks you will be saying exactly the same to another person who will be where you are now...good luck it is a fun journey

Well done! Getting there!

I still go bright red and sweat buckets, but I just keep telling myself that at least my recovery time is getting quicker 🙈!!
