Starting Week 6 tomorrow. I was wondering why it goes back to interval running? I know it must work but seems strange. I’m guessing it’s to build up to another longer run next week?
Sneak Peak: Starting Week 6 tomorrow. I was... - Couch to 5K
Sneak Peak



Look at the total moving time, not just running time.............unless of course you can do a five minute brisk walk without any energy expenditure.
Don't question..........it works.

No idea why, but I was soooo happy to make that discovery this morning! Amazing how easy 8 mins felt - 4 weeks ago I would have been sure that I could never do that. 😀

Don’t be fooled i was amazed at how hard week6r1 was as I thought it would be a breeze after 20mins continuous run! This program is amazing & works unfortunately i had a break after I graduated but im back again on w5r2 tomorrow so ive still to deal with week6 again😂. Just enjoy you are nearly on that podium 👍
I've just finished Wk4 & realised that it's 21.5 minutes in total (+ warm up/down) & as there's very little difference btw by fast walk & my 'run' I'm assuming I will be ready for a 20 minute 'run' by the end of next week...gulp! On that basis I think you're right that it goes back to intervals as prep for Wk7? Think it's best not to question & just go with it! I'm sure you'll smash it 💪🏃🏽♀️☺

Most people question this but you’ve prob answered your own question...I think it must be about stamina build up...it seems like it will be a breeze walking again but beware...take it slow...good luck with the week 👍🏻
