Week 3, Run 3 - done but felt it a bit :(

Hi All - well that's week 3 finished just now but for the first time was starting to feel it a bit towards the end of the session. Could it be anything to do with ...ahem... "lady fun week" about to start (sorry lads if too much information :)).

Slightly apprehensive about starting week 4 on Monday but of course will give it a go and rise to the challenge. Just might knock the "run" speed down from 5mph to 4.5mph and see how it goes for starters.

Any other girls out there find it a little harder at the time of the month?

Hi cat lover sue,

Yes! I found it really took it out of me during "that" week.

I finished w3 r3 today. I too am a bit worried about week 4. I will not be put off though...(even though I have listened ahead on the podcast...something I never do!) I'm trying to keep positive. Knowing I now have two days rest now, really helps!
