Week 3 run 2

So 2nd run done on wk 3 and found it challenging (again). Slowed my pace down a tad which did help especially on the last 3mins jog. Bring on Wednesday!! .

Not pushing the pace is key. Put your inner sprinter in a box for now and invoke the spirit of the Tortoise - 🐢👍. Slow builds stamina, which is what we need for this plan. Well done to you. 👏🏼🎉

Wise words indeed. Thanks for your positive feedback 👌

That's great news!

You did the right thing slowing down and you nailed it! Maybe take two test days before starting week 4 and drink so much water that you never want to see a glass full again! Someone gave me that advice when i was starting to flag at the end of a week and it really helped. You've got this!!!! 🙌

Thanks for the encouragement and feedback. Due to start wk4 on Friday (If my legs will let me lol) so I'll see how I get on . 👌✌. Just had a look at wk4 and I'm not looking forward to it one bit 😂.

I never look forward to starting any new week and then I amaze myself! Have faith GMAN, it's in the bag!

GMAN I completed week 3 on Saturday and my last run was a challenge even slowing down didn’t help but my god I was so happy to get through it and look forward to week 4 even if it is a bit daunting, the amazing people on this forum give great advice and let you know we have all been there! Best of luck with week 4 I’m sure it’ll be a breeze 🤪

Slowing your pace is good, better than pushing then hating it. Gently does it, the process will carry you along. You can do it 👏👍

[Hidden in reply to Jerichomile]

Thanks 👌. I'm starting to enjoy this running lark lol.

I start Wk3 on Wednesday, am dreading the increase from 90 seconds to 3 minutes!! Any advice? X

[Hidden]

Go steady and try to enjoy it .It's not that bad to be honest. The last 1min on The last run is a killer ( well it was for me lol) but I felt good when I'd completed it . The 5 minute cool down was just what I need 😂. Got my last wk3 run on Wednesday then it's wk4 on Friday. Be positive. You'll smash it . ✌
