How often do you run? Week 1..

5 Replies

The app says “do this run 3 times.” I’m on week one, does this mean I do each of the 3 runs once, totalling 3 runs a week for 1 week or does it mean I repeat each of the 3 runs 3 times over 3 weeks? Sorry if it’s a daft question, its just not very well explained on the app!

run,rest day, run, rest day, run, rest day, then week2.

(at the end of the week you can have 2 rest days if you want to keep to the same days every week)

Use the link above. 3 runs in 1 week then move on to week 2

Good luck.

Welcome... please do check the FAQ post for Newbies... and particularly this link.

Three runs each week... with a rest day between each one.. more if you need it... we each have our own running days to suit us and our lives.

My running days...Tuesday, Thursday... Sunday:) But not at the moment because I am training for HM...:)

Take it slowly and steadily... enjoy the runs, they are all so structured and move you gently and safely on. Keep posting too, for great support and encouragement!
