w3 R2 harder than I thought

[Moomin63]

Set off this morning and I found the 1st 90 secs a breeze but the first 3 min run was tough! I spose I was expecting it to be easier, just about got through the last run so another one down YaY! I’ve also remembered to do my stretches after the run which is a first.

Well done!! I try to plan my 3 minutes so they are not uphill in any way and sometimes slightly downhill! 😉. Fantastic to have got that in the bag. I might repeat my W3/R3 next time as my knee and ankle are playing up. Now you can indulge in eating something nice as a treat 😊

Thanks. The last 3 mins was downhill slightly which worked a bit better, the first was slightly uphill so that’s probably why it was bit of a struggle. I’ll have to plan them a bit better next time!

Defo that would be hard uphill at this stage. Try and plan your route to be flat or slightly downhill on the more challenging runs to give yourself half a chance. As you build up you can start to tackle those inclines 🏃‍♀️

Well done for getting it done though! You kept going and did it!!!

I found my W3 R2 hard as well, maybe because the first one was easier than expected so the second one we thought would feel easy too? I put mine down to the heat and time of day but maybe it's just a challenging one. I look forward to redeeming myself with R3 tomorrow x

Thanks. Good luck on you’re last one of week 3 tomorrow!!

I think that’s how I felt about this run.. the first wasn’t as awful as I thought it would be and so my memory was of it being ok. R2... quite difficult yes.
