Week 3

Pick up the pace

This week, we are working on making your fast faster. When you do this, you will notice all of your paces will start to get faster. For example, your easy pace will begin to get faster while you are still able to hold a conversation.

As a general bit of advice; please do not push yourself too hard! It is important to be intuitive when starting a new programme. Running is designed to get your heart rate up and make you feel a little out of breath, but it should not hurt, and it should not feel like you are pushing yourself to the limit.

"When you're running, gradually build speed until you are breathless. Then slow until your breathing is under control, an easy jog or walk."
