Finally cracked W3, in the pouring rain, on my fourth attempt. Decided to run around the reservoir (no hills) and this did the trick. It’s a great place to run but I prefer being able to run/walk back to my front door and complete my stretches. I’m currently sitting in my car catching my breath and steadying my legs for the journey home. Anyone else drive to run?

Congratulations on completing week 3 in the rain, apart from parkruns most people do the course near to where they live.
When I was doing C25K it was always a different place I ran run 3 of any of the weeks, that was because for the last 13 years I have visited a different place on a Monday, my '"week" on C25K were Wednesday's, Saturday's and Monday's hence a different place each Monday, onwards and upwards for you to week 4.
NIce work! During my C25K, I always took the easy option so most times I ran around a cricket oval on soft turf and on flat ground. Now that I've graduated, I'm consciously trying different routes, surfaces and inclines to build up more stamina and resilience. If that view is what you see when you run, it's no wonder you run there. It's beautiful. Good luck
It's great to see that you're back on your way. I'm not driving to my runs yet, but will soon start chauffeuring my non driving partner to his table tennis club and running round a nearby nature reserve. I'm looking forward to the change of scene.
Well done you're doing fantastic! Beautiful photo. I vary really I've got a few routes I can do within walking distance of my house but I've also driven to a different route before. I have a friend who runs a lot and when I was first starting out and looking for somewhere quiet to run she said it was fine to drive to find somewhere so felt like I had permission lol. Once I've graduated I'm planning on going to a few different routes to keep myself interested.
Yes, I have done. Looks lovely.
