W2R3, done. Excited/nervous about W3R1...

After a rather hectic but fun bank hol weekend I did my 3rd run of week 2. Jeeps, it was hard after a 3 day rest! Had a wobble half way about actually being able to complete it but gave myself a talking to and 'jogged on'!

Planning on doing W3R1 on Saturday - am a tad anxious though. Was going to listen to it beforehand but have decided not too incase it puts me off. Mind you, I didn't think I'd get past week 1 so anything more's a bonus!

Well done for getting through week 2, especially after a 3 day break. I find it tough to restart even after 2 days. Please don't be anxious about week 3. I'm doing it this week it's really okay. In fact you might find it easier in some ways than week 2 - I won't go into the details. Me too, I never imagined getting past 60 seconds before I started - or rather, beyond 15 seconds!

Good luck for the next run.

I agree, it's not too bad - just feels rather long, but on the other hand you have far fewer intervals to do, so in a way it's less overwhelming!

they all sound so much worse when you think about them for the first time. Every week so far I am not sure how I can get through it, but laura tells me I can and it seems to appear I am able to so :)

well done for getting through week 2, and good luck for you rnext run.

Good luck for Saturday, I'm starting week3 on Saturday as well!
