WK3 R1 But whats happened?
yes, it's fine, it's just something to do with pace and minutes doing each. Don't worry. I had a week 8 run where I had and a slower average pace but went further. It's fine, you'll end up going further in a few runs time
Don't worry about distance at this time its all about managing to run for the set time...distance and speed will come later. You'll find that over time some runs your cover more distance than others. Note to self - take your own advice!!!!
Good luck with r2
In week 3 you are doing the same amount of running time but 4 minutes less walking time. So as mentioned above don't worry about the distance just concentrate onrunning the time the podcasts say. You will be amazed how you progress. I am now on week 7 and never in my life thought I could jog for 25 minutes non stop but am pleased to say the podcasts have got me this far.
Ah ha so its cos of the time differnce of 4 mins walking, not that im jogging slower that i can actualy walk. Thanks for that.
