UPDATE!! So I'm starting week 3 today of couch to 5k and I have a question
UPDATE!!
So I had a CRAPPY day at work and was so upset. I was going to order food in and not run and decided no, I don't want to use food as my comfort. So I ran anyways and it wasn't that bad. I actually felt good after the 3 minutes and could have gone longer. Yes, I was going slow, but I never thought I could run 3 minutes and I did. I'll get faster as my endurance picks up.
So yay!! And now I feel a lot better. Now exercise is my comfort.
I'm following a different schedule than you girls, hence starting week 3 on a Thursday.
But I'm nervous about this 3 minute run. I can do the 90, but after the full run I'm SO tired. Part of it is the my last 90 sec run is up a huge hill. But I still get really tired at the end of each 90 sec interval.
Any tips for starting week 3? Should I just slow down my pace so I can make the 3 minutes?

Hi! you are doing great btw!
I remember dreading the 3 minute run too. Definitely slow your pace and maybe try to run on a more level surface if you can. Anything uphill is definitely going to make it harder, especially when you're just starting out.
Good luck, you can do it!

Exactly! Even now, I take shorter quicker steps going uphill and slow down at the top. And slowing your pace down helps tremendously!
