I started week 3 and now, I'm hyped!

Honestly, I was dreading week 3 because I seriously doubted that I can run for 3 mins at a time. But today, I finally tried and it worked great! This was the first time I ran with music and it was SO much more fun, I will never run without music again. This was also the very first run, that I actually found enjoyable, even though it was hard, of course, but it was fun. Might be the music that made a difference but also the fact that I could not stop smiling after I pushed through the first 3-min-segment. Believe it or not, but I am actually really looking forward to run 2 this time :D I might become a runner after all :)

It’s such a great feeling when you do something you didn’t think you’d be able to. Well done! Hold on to that runner’s high. You’re already out there running so you must be a runner right now!

I almost always run with music. I need a bit of a beat to get me up the hills.

Enjoy your next run. There will be some that feel tougher than today and that’s not something to be afraid of. Remember, every step you’re taking is making you fitter and stronger.

Great to read about your run Sarah. Out for a run on Sunday, I found that my music gave me a real boost which helped me reach the finish in style!

On your next run, do remember to keep to an easy pace; after a good run, it’s very easy to go off too fast on the next one.

Wow… you’re enjoying it sooner than I did 🤣

Great job out there! You think that was fun? You’re on an amazing journey and the buzz you got today is coming many many times in your future running, during and after this plan. A clever little plan and a determined new runner is an unstoppable force.

Celebrate every single achievement on your journey.
