Well I've just finished W2R3 and honestly it wasn't so great. I have been getting slightly faster with each run (according to Map My Run), but today I went slower than usual, my legs were still aching from W2R2 and to top it off my shins are starting to hurt slightly. I really hope I don't get shin splints, I've been so motivated to do well up until this point.
Anyway I now have a 2 day break until Sunday when I begin W3, so I will try to rest my legs and hope that W3R1 is more positive. I'm still determined to complete the program!

No need to rush. Your body's still getting used to running. Laura says it's distance not speed that's important, so don't worry about going slow, just build up stamina!
You're right, I'm too impatient really! I know it's important to build up slowly. I'm feeling more positive this evening and actually looking forward to my next run
