Week 5 error??

[Doubray]

Is it right that wk5 run 3 is a full 20min run? I’m wondering if I have a bug in my app.

U can do it 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[MDaw35 Graduate]

That's correct. You'll be surprised by this, it was a breeze. The app trains you for this...you are ready and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Happy running

Thanks, it just seems odd because week 6 goes back to shorter runs and walking 🤔

[MDaw35 Graduate in reply to Doubray]

It does, I thought exactly the same as you and people warned me about WK6 R1 so I took their advice and kept my usual steady pace and it was fine. It's funny how it does it but it seems to work. I'm doing WK8 R2 tomorrow and finding that it's going really well.

I felt the same when I saw the jump from 8 mins to 20 mins and was very apprehensive but go for it- you will be amazed. It really is OK so long as you have built up to it on the plan

Scary, right? But guess what, you will be able to do it.

[Jamsandwich Graduate in reply to Now-runner_NeedsAttn]

fully agree, scared the living do dahs out of me but the training works! and you'll pleasantly surprise yourself. good luck.

No, you don't have a bug in your app, 20 minutes of running is correct 🏃just run slowly and you will be OK.

No error..just another run you are ready for..slow and steady..the run is one you will do..no problem😉

Trust the plan but watch out for week 6 run 1,

[Doubray Graduate in reply to glentoran99]

Why is that? My app has wk6 run 1 as less running than wk5 run3 and more walking!

[glentoran99 Graduate in reply to Doubray]

I don’t know, false sense of confidence after running the 20 mins maybe. But I found it one of the hardest runs of the programme.

Like a lot of people are saying it is surprisingly easy but beware of week 6!!

We completed week 5 run 3 this morning, my 10 year old son was chuffed to bits 😁
