wk3 r1 ....Had the scary thought that as today i ran for 3 minutes then the full 30 is 10 times what i did today oooooooh the pain, but i feel it will actually be 10 times the gain so well worth it. Was really scared about todays run but went out early and all done, not as bad as i imagined but should i fear wk 4? Who else gets a bit scared before the 'new' ( r1) run? hope its not just me!!!!!!! looking forward to r2 now ive got today out of the way.

I think I have feared every week so far but honestly it's never as bad as you think. You just need to take your rest days and trust in the programme 
The benefits far outweigh the pain, I'm so much fitter just after 4 1/2 weeks - keep going!
Not what you're looking for?
