Wk3R1 less distance????

[Jeffjjohn78]

Just done my first run of week 3. Discovered this is much shorter than other weeks! Did my usual route and was finished a good distance from my house! Is there any other weeks like this and is it naughty I slipped in another 2 min run after I finished just to get home quicker?

I've just done the same run and discovered I too covered LESS distance than in week 2 which surprised me as it's the same time running just in different size blocks. Maybe we are pacing ourselves slower?

Can someone who has progressed beyond this week comment?

Week 3 is the shortest session. If you go to healthunlocked.com/couchto5... there is spreadsheet of the plan, showing all the timings........... although some would say don't look ahead, just handle the next run.

Adding on a couple of minutes at the end, if you are feeling good, will probably do no harm, but I have just replied to someone who almost doubled their run duration in one session and is now paying the price. Be warned.

Great summary table, thanks for directing me to it but oh dear, looks like week 4 is a big step up. I will enjoy these short week 3 runs while they last...

Believe in the process and believe in yourself.
