Week 3 Run 3

Week 3 now complete!! Woohoo!

Making sure I stick to my 3 set days that someone advised me to do. Gets you in the mindset knowing there is no chopping or changing. Was exhausted this morning too due to lack of sleep thanks to work and little one but made sure as soon as we got back from baby group and little man went for a nap that I did not sit down and got straight on it. Or that would have been it! (Lazy sod I am)

Feeling good that it’s done now although legs are aching. Time for a sit down now, yay!!!

I hope everyone is well and enjoying their runs too!!

Thanks for the support, advice and encouragement! It helps enormously!!!!

good job. I would not refer to yourself as lazy because anyone who is raising 3 kids working or not working is no easy task. They do require quite a bit of energy and you don't get any rest days. Ha Ha.

Glad to see you got a tread mill. I'm not a fan of them. It just is not the same for me, but it is definitely good for your situation and others who actually like to run on them.

Good to have that set schedule. For me it was Mon,Wed,Fri with the weekend for a 2 day rest.

looking back at your previous post, I see you like to push on your runs. For safety as well as a more pleasurable experience I would suggest just running at a slow pace and let the program and time do its thing. In the end you will do much better with less risk of set backs which we all want to avoid. Congratulations on sticking with it. Please have fun and enjoy your runs. Happy Running

Well done! I’m in the same boat, proud of myself for getting creative and doing a treadmill run today rather than brave a Scottish gale!

With difficulty. I’ve only done run 1 so far and really struggled! How are you getting on?

Not too bad - it’s a significant step up. I went super slow
