Week 3 R1 complete 😁

After signing up to the plan to help my mental health during lockdown I cannot express the euphoria I feel when I've completed each run.

I've never ran before, being a complete beginner I was slightly worried I would never be able to run for 3 minutes. However I did it and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.

I watched some videos on YouTube on mental distraction and it really helps.

Good luck to everyone starting the programme and well done to everyone who has completed it.

I’ve not heard of mental distraction- will take a look. I’ve just finished my first ever run and while I’m exhausted I’m also buzzing!
