    I think you'll be able to do it! Just run really slow. And, run as long as you can. If you cannot, no matter what, go more than 2.5 mins, then that's OK. Try it again the next time. And the next. You will get there!

    I am just finishing up W2 on Saturday then onto week 3 on Monday. Also a bit nervous but I think we are stronger than we think and we can do this.

    HI! I started W3 today and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! Ya you have to run three minutes in a row but its doable and not as pressuring because you only know you have to do 4 runs instead of 6! To be honest I had a harder time starting week 2 then week 3.

    And another little tidbit-its amazing to start out on a new week-because you can really tell the week before's training really does help build up your endurance.

    Good luck and let me know what you think of week 3!

    Just started w3 today as well, you are right KristenStone it was not as bad as you would think. My shins hurt a bit in the last 3 min jog but the rest was alright. Did you find your calories burned went down though?

    Ok.... I may have spoken too soon. After I had time to think about it... It really wasn't that hard. Well on the body any way. It was a huge battle with the mind!!! It kept saying to stop that it was too much. I didn't listen. I finished. :) You can too!!!!
