Week 4 run 3

Week 4 run 3 complete!

As I sit here eating weetabix with bananas on, waiting for the kettle to boil so I can get some coffee into me 😂 all I can think is I'm happy that's done but can't wait to get going on next week! I havnt looked ahead to week 5 but I'm guessing by some of the comments I've read, it's where things get serious.

Concentrate on today, run went smooth (despite not having my headphones, forgot to charge!) had no pains, no stitches and felt I had some left at the end. It was cold (I run in a vest) but the sunrise was nice and overall enjoyed it 👍🏻

Good luck anyone running today, keep it up, you can do it!

Yes r3 is the first big one 20 minutes, you will feel fantastic once you’ve done it.

Well done, I've just finished week 3 this morning. It hasn't been too bad but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to handle any longer than the three minutes (twice!)

I'll take some confidence that you've just conquered it and try believe in the programme.

Enjoy the weekend

Ive felt the same each time the run steps up to be honest, first run this week was hard but has gotten easier each time which I suppose is the idea of the programme, the idea of running 5 minute periods at the start of this week alarmed me and was tough at first but by the end of today felt I could do some more! Take each week as it comes I say, we can do it and we will do it 💪🏻

Keep it up!

Great to hear you made so much progress since you started!

Don't be afraid of week 5. There's barely any more running involved than in week 4. It's just in bigger chunks.

The first run of week 5 was one I found very pleasant. The weather helped, but it felt easy having done week 4.

Hey, well done Did my Week4 Run 3 this morning, too. It felt good! I felt fine! Same as you after my second run on Weds not being the best, I was super cautious about today's run but I really got my head into a positive mindset, enjoyed the crisp, sunny early morning and surroundings of my local park and DID IT. That last minute of the last run tho.... when Jo came on to say 'you've got 1min left' it felt like the longest minute. hah.. Chuffed to have completed Week 4. Like you, I've not checked out Week 5 plan yet..I prefer to leave it to a surprise in my ears come Monday morning!!!! Eeekk... Well done us! Roll on Week 5.

That's excellent! Good to see you got through it 👍🏻 I'm taking the weekend off and gonna start week 5 Monday morning bright and early (unless the urge to run gets too great over the weekend 🤣)

Hopefully next week goes well for us both! 🤞🏻

Yep! See you Monday for a post-Week5 Run1 catch up 😜
