Week 5 run3

Well today I set off but struggled to jog against the strong wind which ended up with me power walking as opposed to running for 2 mins at about 12 mins in I added the extra 2 mins at the end . My question is should I repeat this run before doing week 6 ?

The only person you need to justify this to is yourself, so whatever makes sense to you. If you are a 'completionist' do it again. If you feel you have it covered, press on. You'll be running for longer soon enough.

Congratulations but I think you should repeat it, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, in this case it would be wise to do so.

If it was me, I’d do it again, completely your call though. I know how bad the wind was here today, I was practically running on the spot, trying to push through it 🤣

Whatever you decide, keep at it, and wishing you better weather for the next one 👍

Depends how you felt! If you were disappointed then try again but personally I think move on. See how you feel another time. I'm sure you'll smash it🏃🏃👍

Well done.

If you haven't fully completed the demands of any of the workouts in the plan then you will not be making life easy for yourself by moving onto the next one.

We recommend that every session is fully completed before moving on.
