sometimes to heaven, other times to the very depths of hell - it depends on how the run goes.

At this stage, then just run.. try not to focus on distance or speed.. just move forward and enjoy each of the runs:)

Use an app like MapMyFitness to measure

Does it matter? Our focus is on duration not distance or pace...

Depends on which week we are all on. Also key focus is completing the runs not distance or pace. 😊

The guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... explains that you are never asked to run any specific distance in the programme and only have to run at an easy conversational pace, so the answer to your question is different for everyone.

W6R1 - 34 mins - 4.6K

After success with R5R3 and knowing we had walking breaks we increased the pace a bit. Once we graduate we plan to do a speed run, a tempo run and an easy or long run per week. Unless we discover a more exciting plan by then of course!
