Week 5

[Maztink]

Just finished week 5 run 3 . It was rough!! I did the 20 mins without stopping, but it was a fight with the gremlins. A bit of gritted teeth going on. Question is what now? Do I repeat the last 2 runs so I feel more comfortable, or push on with week 6? I would value your opinions. I will of course take them all then probably do the opposite!

Congratulations! I would carry on with the programme as designed by some 'very clever people'

Just like the rest of the plan, if you complete the run, you carry on, of course!!

W6R1 is not too physically demanding, but it has a curious psychological effect after the elation of W5R3 and it catches quite a few people out. Be warned and start off slow.

Many congratulations. Keep running, keep smiling.

I'd just carry on. I've had a couple of runs that for no discernible reason have been much rougher than the rest, then the one after has been more manageable again. I think sometimes it just happens.

From the C25K web page:

You will have good runs and bad runs. Accept it and don’t spend too much time analysing the how and why. Even a bad run is good for you.

Thanks everyone. Next run tomorrow and I am going to carry on to week 6. Gonna get out early before it gets too hot!
