Really busy week at work and have walked total of 23k in last 2 days. Fortunate that my first struggle run was on Wed this week. Legs really tired today after walking so far. Should I attempt the run anyway or take a third rest day?? Any advice gratefully received.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and is full of tips.
You will probably enjoy your run more if you have an extra rest day.
Listen to your body.
Enjoy your journey.

Been following the excellent advice of the forum since joining for W5R3. Wouldn’t have got this far without everyone’s wise words - even if I don’t post often!
Have a rest. W9R1 will still be waiting for you and you will probably enjoy it more if you feel more ready for it. 😊

I would also have more rest. If needed, add more than one extra day.
Not what you're looking for?
