Week 6, day 2 and 3

[nic_bath]

Anyone else find week 6 terrible? Felt amazing when completed week 5 but couldnt finish 6,3 and struggled on 6,2. Legs feel like bricks and got the weirdest pins and needles. Any advice?

No advice but I read a poll on" which week people found the hardest" (can't find it again now) & week 6 was cited by a lot of people. It does get better. Hang on in there & don't get discouraged.

Hey waletta, thats good to know, was thinking 5,3 was just a fluke! I will prob repeat the last two runs when my foot stopd complaining! Thanks

I went looking for the poll as well, it's here.... healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

It could be that buoyed up by week 5 you went out a bit too fast. Slow and steady and you'll get there, speed comes after graduation.

That's the one. I've just been notified that you replied to me. Will nic_bath get this too? Sometimes I really have trouble with this site. Probably me not the site.

Hopefully Nic will get the notification as it's her (his?) original post.

Hey! Yes got this eventually. One didn't arrived, one alert went to junk and one arrived in my inbox

Was relieved to see so many people felt the same about week 6, it's made me feel a little bit better about my efforts! Planning to go out tomorrow or Sunday dependent on the rain...

(Oh and I'm a her, if that makes sense!)

Nic

Well done to Beads. Yes I peeked at this before I started W6 so wasn't too surprised that it was harder than the W5R3 20 min run. Perhaps it there just to make us look forward to the longer run at the end of the week. Not sure about your pins & needles. Hope they are better on your next run.
