Repeated last run of week 3......

I should have done the last run of week 4 today but came down with a head cold on the weekend and just felt so awful. Anyway I repeated week 3 run 3 today and I really did enjoy getting back out there. I gotta be doing something wrong here though because the last minute of the last run all but did me in. My legs are fine they could go on for longer but I can't seem to catch my breath. I think maybe because the first part of the runs are quite easy now I"m possibly going a bit too fast and wearing myself out towards the end? I have to say after hearing Laura describe week 4 I am a little worried.

Try slowing down, if you can - bet you'll find it easier to breathe! Enjoy week 4 - you'll be fine, I'm sure.

Thanks Greenlegs I will try going slower at the beginning of the runs. :-) I'm pretty sure that is what I'm doing wrong.

Take care of that head cold. And like Greenlegs said, slow it down. You can do it, good luck!
