Week 3 - I did it!

Week 3 complete! Feeling pretty chuffed about it. 3 minutes doesn't sound like a lot...but I wasn't sure how I would go with it....and once again, I am pleasantly surprised by how quickly the endurance and stamina builds up. But I am taking it slowly, trying to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells as I make my way around and over and under and down and up....I won't say it's easy - I was definitely ready to stop today but I am looking forward to the challenge of running (well, jogging) 5 minutes non-stop next week. Looking forward to it...but also slightly apprehensive. Ay...Tuesday is coming!! :-)

Congratulations..........but why are you doing yourself down?

You actually ran for NINE minutes and brisk walked for SIXTEEN..........

The overall duration of each workout is crucial, not just the running intervals.

Keep running, keep smiling.

yes, the 25 minutes I did this week is 25 minutes more than I was doing three weeks ago so 100% improvment!! And it was nice to be out, hear the river and the birds....thanks.
