Repeating Week 5

Hi, I have started week 5 today and first run was fine although first twinges in my knees after running on the snow. So far in the plan I have done every week twice because I want to take it steady and not risk injuring myself and I am not in a big rush to get to the 5K. My question is - if I want to do week 5 twice is it better to do the full week and then repeat it or to do run 1 twice then run 2 twice and then the 20 minute run twice? thanks

The most progressive way would be to do each run twice before moving on.

Well done with your tenacity.

Thanks for the advice. My knee is still sore after running on snow but hoping it will be ok by next run on thursday. Thanks again
