MummyTum &Sqiddlywoos I did it too!! W3R1

Thanks to all the cheering on & knowing you two had made it gave me impetus to keep going in the first 3 min run. The second one coming at the end was good because psychologically you just want to nail it having got this far! Enjoying a glass of water with the butterflies in my garden..

Wel done Annieapple, sounds like abit of a relief to have completed the run and know you can do this.

Good luck with W1R2, there is plenty of positive advice and encouragement on this forum if you need it.

😁 Thanks...hard to believe! Only this app & this forum could have helped me achieve this. Snail 🐌 pace ...slow but sure...has been the most helpful tip for people like me.

I love 🐌 pace... that’s by far my favourite pace. When I run fast it’s harder, sometimes hurts, and I mentally use my next slow run to get me through it!

This forum is still getting me through runs 15 months in... every single post here inspires me.
