Wk 3 run 3

I am still here and I’m still working through the process. πŸ‘πŸ»

Been reading about keeping the heart in the aerobic range and practicing that which helps keep my pace down. The smart watch has been a good investment.

I also feel the pain of some of the heavier runners weighing in at 15 stone, but feel great πŸ‘πŸ»

Week 3 is the shortest workout of C25K, its a popular week for graduates who have not ran for a little while, in the spring of this year after I had been off running for around 6 weeks I began at week 3, not week 1, onwards and upwards to week 4.

Great running Justexistin, there are people on here of all shapes , sizes and running is for us all.

I'd put on 4st 6lbs after stopping smoking, I've now been running just over 1 year and have lost over 3 1/2 stone and c25k has really helped . Oh and I don't have family size bags of sweetsπŸ˜‚

Good luck with wk4

Well done you 😊

Well done with giving up smoking. Hopefully you have switched one addiction with another!

I will be switching diet when I can run 30 mins 3 days a week. Don’t want to do too much at once. I too have not long stopped smoking and vaping, so I will stick to my jelly babies and pizzas for energy! πŸ‘πŸ»

Well done for keeping at it.

Always feels like a great achievement to get to the end of week 3.

Good luck for week 4, sounds like you're going to smash it.
