WK3R2

[esmerice]

So after a good few rest days I tackled week 3 again, I got through the first 90 seconds, first 3 minutes and last 90 seconds but didn't feel I could push through to the last 3 minutes. I was in nowhere near the pain from last time but I could feel a tinge so I thought best to just pull back, have a good walk and a stretch and try again. I think week 3 is going to take me a few goes, which is absolutely fine. I'll probably end up taking 6 months to finish this whole thing haha but I don't mind - I'd rather get there slowly than not get there at all.

I'll do my next week3r3 on Monday and try and do all 4 runs, or at least attempt the last run. To be fair once I start running, I am absolutely fine so looking forward to tackling some of those longer runs in the coming weeks.

I'm looking at this programme as a lifestyle change so just got to keep going and eventually I'll be running blocks in no time.

Perfect attitude... if this takes 27 or 270 runs the end result is the same... and awesome new fitter healthier runner.

Slow and steady is fine...just do it when you feel it is all good! Well done!

[RunningMigster Graduate]

Keep at it.

Maybe you just need to slow down a little.

I know everybody says they can't go any slower, but they really can!

The program is an excellent framework for success. Doesn't matter how long it takes, you've got absolutely the right attitude

Think I’m with you. I’ve done week 2 three times with 3 rest days in between each run. However I mentally and physically feel ready finally for week 3. I may never reach week 9 but then again I might! I don’t care how I pace this out really it really is an amazing program for beginners like us. Good luck!
