I work different shift patterns. On occasions it will not be possible to follow the training prog. Is it ok to train as and when as long as I do it 3 times per week ?

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Don't worry too much about three times per week but do make sure you have a rest day between runs.

It is all in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Thankyou.i will not have to alter the programme much but on the odd occasion. I will do it though as I am really enjoying jogging again I used to jog a lot in the early 90s feels great to be back at it x

I'm in this exact position. There's no way I can run the same days each week and work days are out of it. I'm just on W2R1 but for W1, running on non-work days meant that I did my second and third runs on back to back days, which everyone says is a bad idea — and I can now confirm they are dead right. So I've decided I'll continue to run on work-free days but, like Ian suggests, I'll be sure to keep at least one rest day between runs and if that means a running "week" takes longer than seven days, then so be it.

Yes I am sure your plan will be fine. We can do this 👍

[Jaylana in reply to deadandalive]

Yes I am enjoying it.hope to finish it and carry on to do others.

I often did not manage 3x weekly because of work and other commitments but it was fine and often, as the runs got longer, I felt I benefitted from sometimes having two 'rest' days between. This plan is epic, you'll be fine

[Jaylana]

That’s good. Yes it will be fine. It’s only when do 12hour long days together that I can’t. Legs by end of shift would not allow. But I don’t do 2 together often. Thanks enjoy 2019 C25k.

I also do a weird shift pattern and to be honest stated off only doing two runs a week. I'm trying to make up for it by doing a run every other day.

I've been bitten by the running bug and almost at the end of the program!

Just keep up the good work Jaylana!
