W3 R2 - picking up the pace

Went a wee bit faster on both the walk & run elements today to push myself a bit. Managed to get through all the stages ok, so will try that pace again on Sunday. May have to rethink when I get to W4, depending on what MJ has in store for me though 🥵

Onwards! 🏃‍♀️

Why?

If you're a beginner, you're only risking injury. Take it nice and easy - your body isn't used to this and there's no rush.

Good luck!

To run fast, you must first run slowly. The challenge at the moment is to run for 30 minutes, speed isn't important and you'll risk injury.

Not what you're looking for?
