W3 R1

[MaggieCats]

Well, I've just completed W3 R1 and the thought of jumping from 90 seconds to 3 minutes...yes double... was somewhat disconcerting to say the least. I have completed it but I did find myself getting a bit of a tight chest and a dry cough, but that might be medication... I'm hoping the chest is the body's way of saying

"Oi... what's this exercise lark... you need more oxygen..."...anyway, 1 down, and lovely views.

3 mins! Well done you. I got my last wk2 run on Tuesday. Am looking forward to Wk3. Wow great location fora run!

Yes, seafront is flat and today was pretty much perfect...not too much running traffic early on a Sunday. 😹

You’re doing it! Well done 👍 It’s amazing how following the program adapts our bodies!

I hope so, going from 3 to 30 in the next 7 weeks, my body is in for a shock, although I hope it's a pleasant and beneficial surprise 😉

Well done! You’re doing great and fab pic!

Wow, what a great place to run!

You are doing everything right just trust the program- you can definitely do this and yes your body is adapting. Keep drinking loads of water and stretching those legs. Good luck!!

Thanks for the support. Yes, I think water and keeping hydrated are essential but you don't necessarily realise how much until you start off and make the step changes.
