That run seemed easier than the previous one. Not sure I’m ready for the 3 minutes that are part of the next run. I’m gonna trust in the C25k though and do it.

Great progress, well done !Are you ready for the 3 minutes?

YES, of course you are because you completed the previous runs .

So as you say, trust the program , it works 😁👍

That’s great you have already finished week 2 well done. Don’t think too much into week 3 just get your music on and stay at a slow pace it will be over before you know it. Remember you can always repeat a week if you feel your not ready to move on. As long as you keep going that’s the main thing, you have come this far you don’t want to have to start all over. Happy running.

Congratulations on another week ticked off! There’s no reason to think you can’t do the three minute section on the next run. You’ve smashed it so far.

I felt the same (and still do about each increase). As you say, trust the programme.

If the that run felt easier, you may well find you’re ready physically. My brain is a terrible judge of what I can actually do so I just try it.

Do trust it!

You've done a total of 9 minutes of running today, spread over six intervals.

Want to guess how much running you do in each session in Week 3?

Yep, it's 9 minutes. (Spread over four intervals.)

Well done! One more for me this week and I’ll be the same. Bring on the 3 mins! We can do it!

As already mentioned, there is overall no more running in W3 than W2.

You can do this and are quite right to trust the plan.

Go for it.

Yes trust it it works. I was amazed and a bit sceptical that it would make a runner out of me but it did. Go do it and enjoy
