Week 4 I will conquer you! I will not give up!

Week 4. Wow this is hard! On run 1, I managed 3 and a half minutes, then 4 minutes of my rather splendid 'shuffle' jog. Just completed run 2 - did 4 minutes, then 5 minutes straight without stopping! I am still being overtaken by the local Mallards out for a stroll but hey ho - I've got to start somewhere!

Congratulations on getting to week 4 of C25K, don't worry about the local Mallards, you just run and enjoy yourself 😊.

Fantastic! Well done for pushing through 💪

Well done you, I have just started W4 R1 and goodness me it was the first one I’ve had real difficulty with. I managed to run for 5 minutes but once I had completed first section of 5 mins I just could pick back up. So ended up with a brisk walk for the rest of the time - disappointed.

Don't give up!

Very Well Done for getting this far. It is a big jump from Week 3 to Week 4. My first Wk4 run went all right, but I really struggled with the second one and my knees were aching a bit. I took two days of rest, no exercise at all, and my Wk4 run 3 this morning went fine. I think you do sometimes need a longer rest than one day between the runs. Good Luck!

Thank you! It's good to hear how you are doing.

Love the fact you feel you were slower than the mallards. I feel sure I am ! Just did run 2 on week 3. Managed it all be it super slowly. I never manage to get back to the start. Does anyone else fail to get back ?

Keep going I will super slow

[Bridgetlikessinging Graduate]

Those mallards are very sporty! 😊

Be super slow it doesn't matter (I'm telling myself this too!) I also go round in a very small circuit so I always get back to the start 🤭
