Why such a big jump in week 5
Because sweet69 you'll be ready for it π remember trust the plan, we all did it works. Those start stop, run walk they've all served a purpose in building your stamina
Firstly - well done on your progress this far!ππ
Secondly, trust in the program - it works!
That Week 5 run 2 of two x 8 minute run intervals with that 'brisk walk' of 5mins in the middle (during which you will still have maintained an elevated heart rate) will have prepared you.
Good luck - stay positive and stay safe.ππ
It's not that big a jump - 16 minutes to 20 minutes is only an increase of 4 minutes βΊ and you're ready for it - trust the programme & don't think about it too much βΊ
Enjoy your next run π π & come back to tell us how it goes π
Me too. I've also just finished w5r2 3 hours ago. I did not stop at all. Dont worry, just like Joanne said, it's not that much from 16 to 20. Good luck.
Iβve literally just done week 5 run 3 today and I was panicking so much before doing it. But honestly I was fine and now donβt even know why I was worried. I was even able to keep going for an extra four minutes at the end!! You can do it 100% x
