Woke early for W5R1, before the alarm went off, and after a warm up/stretch off I went.
Run all went fine, except that my 6.15am alarm went off less than halfway through the third 5 min run, which I cancelled.
I then thought 'these 5 minutes are very long, had a run into a time-warp?'
But no. Cancelling the alarm paused the C25K app, so the last 5 minutes ended up being over 8 minutes long.
Can I ask what warm up/stretch you do as I only do the 5 min walk to warm up! Should I do more. I stretch at end every time

Don't do masses - mainly just to monitor areas of my legs that I have had trouble with in the past. So:
- stretch my outer shin so that they don't become tight when running.
- some squats to stretch and strengthen a muscle that runs from the quads to the inside of the knee
- calf stretches
- quad stretches
- groin stretches
Usually do 3 reps.
The most important for me are the first two, which I also repeat at the end of the 5 min warm down.
