Week 5 : Run 3

[hudsondoglets]

Woohoo I did it and even managed to speed up for last 5 mins. I loved it. For those worrying about this run, if you coped with run 2 of week 5, trust the program - you WILL be able to do it!

Me too!! Found the last 5 mins hard going but feel elated that I didn’t give up ! Yay!

I felt exactly the same -I had convinced myself it couldn’t be done and actually found it much easier than anticipated. Well done 👍🏻

The strategy worked then!

Yes it did 😊😊. As I said on your own post either see how runs 1 and 2 go and make decision then or decide now to repeat week 4. Once I had done runs 1 and 2 successfully I figured run 3 wasn’t so different except it was solid running rather than 2 x 8 mins interspersed with a very brisk 5 min walk. In my mind I did not describe this as a recovery walk but as continued brisk exercise and the bonus is you will actually be doing 60 seconds less exercise in run no 3. The strategy really helped me. Good luck in whatever you decide 😊

Thanks, may as well try it, if I can’t do it I’ll just have to keep trying until I can I guess.
