Week 3 run1...Ouch!

Week 3, Run1 - that was tough! I was expecting it to be though because of the added 3 minute runs. Stuck it out to the end though, even though my lungs and legs were screaming out for me to stop 🤣 Did my two minutes of planking at the end, my cool down stretches and then a pat on the back 🤣 🤣

Well done! I have had a look at the program and week 3 looks to be a tough week.

Congrats for sticking it out to the end even though you could have stopped. :)

You will get through each run one at a time too. Every time you go out there you build up a bit more fitness, stamina & confidence! Lovely that you are encouraging others already! Well done🎈

Thank you :) yes, I had that little voice telling me to stop because I was tired, but the other little voice telling me I could do it was louder 😀 this run was definitely the most challenging so far 🥵

Well done Elceee! 🏃‍♀️You can be proud getting through a tough one! Keep telling yourself “My last runs prepared me for this one.. I can definitely do it!” If you feel it’s a struggle slow it down 🐌 and you will be amazed at the difference it makes. Enjoy a well deserved rest day😃

Thank you! Yes, definitely glad for the rest days, I've found I'm a lot less achey now that I make sure to have a break in between each run :)

Well done on completing run 1 of week 3, you deserve a pat on the back, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 3 😊🏃
