Newbie on week 5!

Hi all. I have just attempted week 5 run 3. I got to 17 minutes and was very nearly sick (sorry if TMI) so had to walk the last 3. I think I will start week 5 again at the weekend and see if I can do better!

Sounds like you were going too fast. Slow things down a little, you can always give a sprint at the end when Laura tells you time is almost up. Of course you will do it! Just look back at how far you have come already.

you are probably right. I was running without my daughter so my pace was probably faster. Time to start borrowing my husbands forerunner I think.

Not what you're looking for?
