Just finished week 6 run 3 πŸ₯³

I'm not gonnie lie, the last 5 minutes were an absolute killer and my legs were barely moving but I made it. Didn't stop until I was told I could and even now, sitting at home, I still can't quite believe it 🀣

Honestly, don't listen to the constant doubts in your head before your next run, just get out there and try and, like me, you might just surprise yourself 😊

Congrats... It's a good feeling isnt it!! I've no pains but my legs were just so so heavy towards the end 🀣 but we made it and that's all that matters!

Week 7 starts on Monday for me. Good luck to us both 😁

Well done!!! I did w6r3 yesterday too, really can’t believe how far I’ve come. I’ve got to say the though of nothing but running now is still a little daunting!

Thanks for that encouraging post I have my w6r3 tomorrow I must admit I have been a bit doubtful if I can do it, but I’m gonna give it my best

That's all you can do and really what's the worst that can happen ? You might not fully manage or may struggle ? Well at least you still done something and next time you just go out and try again πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

But... I was exactly the same and managed to complete it. So better to give it a go then to not even try! Best of luck. Let us all know how you get on πŸ₯³
