Newbie in wk 3

[Ryndle]

I started my C25K journey 3wks ago today. I do the same route on each run, I’m trying not to read posts which are farther down the road as I don’t want to know what the next run has in store until I’m literally walking out of the door. The first run was tough for a number of reasons but I was so made up that I completed in one piece. I’ve been doing the strength & flexibility podcast on the rest days which I’m finding really useful. I know I’m not fit so need to build strength & flexibility too. I was apprehensive about today’s run but managed to complete w3 R1, feeling pretty good. Am amazed by the progress made so far & am really feeling stronger in myself.

Thank you for all the supportive posts. I’m an avid shy reader.

I would never have thought it possible, it’s a great programme & Sarah Millican keeps me on my toes 😊

Well done you, this is such a great programme to get people running and fitter and stronger, I never believed we could do it but each run prepares you for the next and if you struggle you know to slow down a bit

Enjoy your running journey

It is, I watched the Japanese running video, I’m going at about that pace 🤣🤣

Thanks for your support 👍

That video makes it all feel possible

[Ryndle in reply to SueAppleRun]

Absolutely, slowly slowing catches the 🐒

And do you know speed comes naturally, towards the end what felt very slow was actually faster than in the early days even our walking pace speeded up a lot
