Week 3 R3 completed

Noticing the increased stamina during the run, but this last week have started to get a really bad headache during the run. I took a paracetamol before hand today as it is really painful ... I'm going to increase my water intake as well but wondered if anyone else was experiencing this??

Apart from this am really enjoying the programme and the challenge.

Yes, water is important, every day, not just before your run.

I am a recent convert to the art of the 3 litres of water a day - it has helped with so many things and I have more energy, the first 2 weeks were hard, but from the third week I started to feel like a new woman :D
