Week skip.

[StewieNorts]

Anyone else get to the end of week 7 or start week 8 and just gone for the whole 30 mins . After running for 28 mins in week 8 an extra 2 doesn't really seem that much to do ?!

From a can you do it point of view, there’s very little difference.

From a fitness point of view those three runs are important.

If you’re suggesting skipping week 8 I’d say be careful after week 9... if you’re suggesting doing 6 30 minute runs I’d say yeah, go for it.

[StewieNorts in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yeah I meant 6 30 min runs 👍 I went out for 25 min runs and ended up doing 28 on my last one so thought next week may as well try for the 30.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to StewieNorts]

Yeah, go for it. Maybe you’ll be over 30 by the end.

[StewieNorts in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I'll need to go over 30 to hit 5k I am nowhere near fast enough yet.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to StewieNorts]

Fix that later... 5k isn’t important to the plan. There are several ways of working in that.

I ran 28 mins at the end of Wk7 so extended that to 30 mins in week 8. I was able to run it ok but felt a bit more tired at the end of week 8 so I took an extra days rest. I’ve now just ran 33 mins in week 9, so I would say yes if you feel up to it.
