Starting week 3 this week - a little daunting although I managed the other two weeks, some runs easier than others!

Tips for week 3 please
Morning! Just take it really slowly. If you’re barely running it doesn’t matter, just keep going. Keep your head up too and enjoy what’s around you, it’ll help pass the minutes! 👍🏻
It is just another week of progressive runs and if you managed the preceding weeks you are prepared.

Relax and enjoy it.
Week 3 sees you running (JOGGING!) for the same amount of time as Week 2 - i.e. 9 minutes each time you're out. It's structured differently - that's all.
Remember that the goal is to run (JOG!) 30 minutes continuously, 3 times in Week 9.
Week 1: 8x 1 min = 8 mins of 'running' (JOGGING!)
Week 2: 6x 1.5 min = 9 mins of 'running' (JOGGING!)
Week 3: 3x 3 mins = 9 mins of 'running' (JOGGING!)
And don't forget, the fitness that you have accumulated from both W1 and W2 enable you to achieve Week3 - your body is ready it's just your brain isn't convinced yet!
Tip: switch brain off.
Mantra : every run you do prepares you for the next one.
Crack on!
Just have faith in the program and one slow step in front of the other and It just seems to work, good luck!!
Hi - Week 3 , Run 1 in the morning ... I’m thinking of it as more of the same - just a different structure . You’re not in it alone ... we’ll all be out there 3 times this week - enjoy the weather and surroundings
