Week 3 was hard

[Bridetobe123]

So I’ve just done week 3 run 1 wow that’s the most difficult run I’ve dome since day 1! I really found the move to 3 minutes difficult but I didn’t stop running. I feel slightly deflated that I’m not going to be able to do it after finding that run hardb

Hi!

WELL DONE!!

You did brilliantly - you kept running, so you should feel so proud of yourself 🏃‍♀️ 😉.

You're at the same stage as me - I did W3R1 this morning too.

I listen to the lovely Laura on the C25K app. Her calming voice keeps me going. She told me it would feel easier next time, so I believe every word she says!

Thank you so much! Well done to you as well! I’m sure it will be easier for us next time (I hope!) x

Well done, you’ve done it once and you didn’t give up. I hope the second run is easier for you. Remember to take your time, it’s not speed based, its duration based. Take as long as you need xx. We are cheering you on!

Thank you! I just don’t want to have to redo any weeks as I’m worried that will dishearten me so praying I can finish week 3!

You are doing really well. You have got the right mindset to keep running. To be honest, I haven't found running easy, but to finish a run without stopping is something to be proud of.

Agreed!

I am just about to leave the house to do my 1st run of week 3. I'm actually a bit nervous!? I know I'm going to find 3 minutes difficult .... wish me luck

[Bridetobe123 in reply to Trying83]

Good luck!! Let me know how it goes! You can do this x

[Trying83 Graduate]

Well, it was actually ok! I survived Haha. 1st 3 minutes was a struggle, so slowed down a bit and 2nd time round coped better

Relax and enjoy it.........if you don't complete, you repeat.......it is not a big deal.

You can do this.

Firstly, well done you for completing the run. That proves that physically you can do it. Keep working through the runs, all things being equal you will find them easier as the week goes on. Most importantly don’t worry about it, just do your best each run, and you’ll surprise yourself.
