I am on my 2nd round of W3. W4 was too tough for my situation. I took off too much time. But gonna try to tough it out. Good luck and happy running!

Those 3 minutes legs push me. I have one more day on W3 then on to try W4. Happy running!

You're entitled to ramble because it's your thread. I agree. 3 minute runs are hard. I'm in week 4 on the app (something like week 7 or so for real) and it expects 3 and 5 minute runs. Needless to say, I just do what I can.

Okay, I see where I got confused in regards to how long I was supposed to run. The runs this week really are 3, 5, 3, 5. It's the rest periods that are 90 seconds and about 2 1/2 minutes long. After the run, I got light-headed and it got so bad that I felt like I was going to fall down. My experience with keto led me to believe I needed electrolytes, so I took a half teaspoon of Lite Salt and a half a teaspoon of Concentrace (which has a lot of magnesium in it), then sat down. And now I'm feeling a lot better. It makes me think I should probably take those minerals before I run, especially if I run a long time. Today I went 5.5 km (3.4 miles) which I've only done once before (and I forgot to bring my water bottle, which mistake I won't make again).

You bet, I'm right beside you, so to speak.

So finally my shins are feeling better. Not completely healed but very much improved. I went with W3D3 tonight. Once I finished I realized something. I can see why people give up. When I could see small improvements, like going from week 1 to completing week 2 I was so happy. Then I get into week 3 and man that last 3 minute run is killin me. So the struggle is feeling badly about it. It’s not like that feeling when you finish one and crush it. Make sense? I feel like I’m rambling here lol
