About to start W5 tomorrow but see that the final run is 20 mins! That’s a huge leap from 8-20! Why is this?
Bit scary!: About to start W5 tomorrow but see... - Couch to 5K
Bit scary!



I thought that but you'll do fine.
Mind over matter for me.
Nice slow steady pace.
Labadoque (or some name similar) wrote a post 3 days ago about W5 R3, there are some great replies to it, which are worth reading, and helps understand the increase.
I was worried before I did that run, but stay positive, you can do it!
Me too! I have done the program in the past. The first 20 minute run is the best feeling in the world. I can't wait. Good luck

The program works trust it. Like others have said slow steady pace.
You will find your breathing evens out.

i thought that no way.but honest its not hard you willl enjoy it trust the program they all say that and they are right

To test your mind... believe in yourself, trust the programme.
Look at the complete length of the workouts including brisk walks... last one was longer! You can do this... slow and steady...

Keep it nice and steady and you will be amazed and thrilled. Good luck and trust the program. It works 😊

Look at the total workout time............it is your shortest workout since W3.

Ours is not to reason why ....... 😁
This programme is fiendishly clever It rocks. If you did the run, you’re ready for the next one 💪👍😃
Slow and steady. Go get it. 😃

8 to 20? Nah.... think 16 to 20.
Week 3 to Week 4 is the biggest increase in running time.... from 9 to 16 minutes - 72% increase!
