Pleased with myself... I can run for 3 minutes now whoooo!!! πŸ˜†

Scared of W4, but won’t think about it for now 😎...

Love having a reason to get out of the house and go into the fields...

Don't be afraid of week 4, the program has prepared you for it, congratulations on completing week 3

A little tip, from now on don't look ahead at the weeks ahead, wait until you get instructions from your coach, onwards and upwards to week 4.

Thanks and thank you for the tip! 😁 I didn’t purposely look ahead, just read an update from another runner about W4 and got cold feet! πŸ˜†

You are right, I’d better stay away from finding out what awaits me...

Great job completing the first third of this plan. No need to be scared of any run though... one run won’t define you ever, it’s all about keep coming to those start lines. The best way to start is relaxed, take the pressure right off yourself, you’re doing really well and you will do this.

I need a trail like the one in the photo right now... all β›° here 🀣

Thank you. Nice perspective, the first third of the plan completed!

I am not that good with the 3 minutes yet, so really wonder how am I suppose to last 5... but you are right, I can always repeat W4 several times if required...

Haha, hills are much nicer to look at... and when running down, it is easier! ;-)

Started Wk 4 yesterday and surprised myself, took it slowly as wanted to complete and kept head it the right place. You can do this and there’s no better time.
