Is it right that run 3 of week 5 is for 20 minutes????

[Boofle999 Graduate]

Yup - but don't worry, you'll be more than prepared if you follow the programme!

[Polly0274 in reply to Boofle999]

2 x 8 min runs today and then on to a 20 min one 2 days later seems a big leap!!

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to Polly0274]

If you add in the 5 mins walk break with the last run, you exercised for 21mins. The next run is 20mins exercise , do slighted shorter 😀👍🏼. Take it slowly.

[paul1960 Graduate]

yes i thought 20 mins no way but honest you will find it easy honest

[Millsie-J Graduate]

It is😀. All graduates have completed this run and moved on to even more👍🏼 You can do it 🏃🏻‍♀️

Hey Polly, to be honest it's not as bad as it seems, it's just the 2 8 min runs together and a little bit more - but you were walking briskly between those runs so you your heart rate was still up - your body is prepared for it. mentally it's slightly more challenging, but you can beat those gremlins. give it a go, if it doesn't work out then repeat but you really can do it there is nothing to fear. just go slow and steady as always and you will feel epic on the other side. x

Im cautiously optimistic 😂😂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Yeah... it’s a great run.., slow and steady an you can do it!

[Mike_NC]

I thought it looked like a big leap but it really isn't. The simplest advice is just keep going and take it slowly.

[Polly0274]

Completed W5R2 and I actually didn’t struggle like I thought I would. I wasn’t even that breathless, however I am definitely thinking the last run of the week, being a full 20 minutes will be tougher.

[jiggles7 Graduate]

you'll be grand! x

[glentoran99 Graduate]

Was my favourite run of the whole programme

[MikeJones68 Graduate]

Yes, we've all been there, panicked and then been amazed that it's actually easier than the split runs!

[Polly0274 in reply to MikeJones68]

Looking forward to the rest tomorrow and then getting on with the last run of Week 5.

[MikeJones68 Graduate in reply to Polly0274]

You’ll do it no problem 😊
