Final run of week 3 completed today. Breathing is so much better than when I started. Still have creaky knees for the first few minutes.

Special thanks today go to the Stone Roses, Queen, Catatonia,Eminem and whoever sang Eye of the Tiger (Survivor I think)

Week 4, you’re next.

Congratulations on completing week 3 of C25K, you seem to be enjoying your runs, that is nice to know, onwards and upwards to week 4 😊🏃🏾

Thanks for the reply AIMorr👍

To be perfectly honest, it would be stretch to say I’m enjoying them at the moment. Although the warm down walk, having completed the run, is definitely a highlight.

I keep reading about the euphoric high that some people get during and after a run, I’m yet to experience this or anything close. I am very determined to see this through to give myself every opportunity to enjoy running.

Even if I never reach that nirvana, I take solace in the fact that I will be improving my physical, mental and emotional health along the way.

Later in the course you will get the euphoric high you describe, particularly with the longer runs, one word of advice, don't look ahead at future weeks or runs, wait for the instructions from your coach before you run, some people have been put off looking ahead, trust the program 🏃🏾😊👍

Good luck!! I was born in 74 so I’m reliving my teens and 20’s in my running music!! A very eclectic mix, but each song takes me back and takes my mind off the fact that I’m doing something that feels fairly unnatural!!!
