W3R2 completed.

The 1st 3 min run was ok, but the second one seems to be my hurdle. Managed it but jeeeeezo that second 3 min was tough going.

Well done, but if any run is tough, just slow down.........it is up to you how hard this is.

I just did this same run this evening :-) we managed it!! I found it tough, but if we completed it that's the main thing!! There were moments I was tempted to stop but kept thinking 'think how amazing it'll be to know you've done it when you get home', haha.

100% agree. It was tough but pushing ourselves it was do-able.

Well done.

Well done! Try and slow down a bit and you’ll be fine I’m sure 😁

Slowing down certainly appears to be the trick on the road to success. I've just restarted from scratch after just scraping my way to W4 R1 last November & then stopping. I was getting progressively slower last year (so I could make the longer runs) and although I'm not going as slowly as I should yet (ready for W3 R1 on Saturday), comparing how far I'm going this time to last time, I see I'm covering less distance, so I must be going more slowly. Keep at it, it sounds like you're doing fine, and know what you need to do to keep going.

Not what you're looking for?
