Should I repeat wk 2 ?

[Mariebridget66]

Hello friends , I have just completed w2r3. I found the last run tough although I’ve managed to do each one 100% im thinking about whether I should do wk two agAin so I’m going into wk 3 stronger? I’m not sure whether I should or the point is that each wk you’re pushed a bit more ?

Thanks in advance

Hi.. well done you.

If you completed the runs.. then move on Just take it really slowly...have you checked out this post for Newbies too?

Make sure, that you are just moving gently... breathing normally and landing lightly. Warm up well and stretch after each and very run...Each run will make you stronger,and each week, stronger still,. Stamina and strength exercise on non rest days is important too, on this journey

Try it..you may be surprised at what you can do

As Oldfloss says, if you completed the runs move on to the next. You are doing great😎

Just go straight into w3, u will surprise yourself. I was thinking of wether to complete w2 again but i didnt. I am currently on w3 r3. Good luck Xx

Every run is training for the next one.

Far better to repeat a run that you cannot complete, than an easier earlier run.

Push on, you can only fail by heading back permanently to the couch.

I think we all felt like that - it’s fear of the unknown. W3 was my favourite week so far (i’m on W5 now) you will smash it. Iannodatruffe gave me the same advice - it’s sound advice - only repeat a week if you don’t complete a run. Give it a go - you’ll be great. Good luck & keep us posted.
