Hi everyone 👋
I’m really struggling with one of the 5 minute runs on week 4. I can do one but not the other! Feeling a bit defeated!! Any advice? 
Update: still struggling with Wk4 run 3. Hit a hill about 3 mins into the first five mins and had to walk up the hill. Managed the last five fine 🙂 do you reckon I should repeat the week?
Are you running slowly enough? Sometimes it’s tempting to be too enthusiastic at the start of each run and then you run out of puff! I had a melt down in W4 R3 and the advice received here got me through:
Go slower than you think possible.
Relax shoulders and enjoy the view.
Fix your thoughts on a spot just beyond where you think you’ll be at the end of 5 mins.
Play motivational music loud in your headphones! Or download a really gripping podcast...just something to take your mind off your breathing/tired legs/knee creaks/etc.
And if you can’t complete a run don’t worry - just view it as valuable stamina practice and try it again.
You will do it. Good luck!
It's much harder to run slow than fast eh? But we all need to do it.... 😁
Great advice! Thank you! I’ll try that next time 🙂 determined to conquer it!
It's all good practice and helps build your running legs. Slow down, glacial is what you're after!
Thank you! I think I may be trying to go too fast!
