Yes I agree that extra 5 minutes of week 4 run 1 does make the legs a bit sore, have a rest day before continuing with run 2 of week 4, perhaps not so much time gardening, just relax, I don't think your legs will feel just as sore.

That is what I am doing NOW, just come back from a rerun of week 3, had a 3 minute walk, put the Mapmyrun app on and tested myself by running 1K in 7.26 in preparation for me rerunning run 3 of week 5, enjoy the β˜€ sun today and tomorrow as they say we might have ⚑ thunderstorms by Wednesday.

Well done Netty2, I did the same run this morning I think the trick is convincing yourself to keep going, and c25k has given me that belief. Bring on r2! πŸ‘πŸ˜

Well done! Make sure to stretch down afterwards so your legs don’t hurt too much before your next run - I always forget!!
