W3R1 - checking in

I had been feeling a bit nervous at the thought of a new week with longer runs which I think caused me to start out running a bit too quick. However once I slowed it down, I seemed to manage just fine. Felt a few twinges in my left knee though - not sure why and going to have to keep an eye on it.

Week 3 does feel noticeably shorter than week 2 though, which I wasn't expecting but it did make it feel a little easier!

Happy running everyone!

Thanks Wenderwoo! Gotta force myself to slow down sometimes but if I don't I tend to burnout too quickly.

Always consider taking extra rest days to allow your legs to recover 👍
