Week 5 run 3 - DONE ☑️

[Loisanne1]

Just finished week 5 run 3 and I am soooo proud of myself, having really struggled with week 1, run 1!

I trust the plan of course and it has got me this far but just wondering what the logic is by dropping back down to 8 mins on week 6, run 1?

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

W6R1 will be your longest workout up to that point..............you need to include the brisk walking into the overall timings.............and it catches out many, so stay nice and steady for it.

Enjoy your journey.

Congratulations, you should be sooooo proud of yourself, run 3 of week 5 is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran, take it particularly slowly and you will be 🆗

Well done! Just did mine today too and feel elated. Likewise really struggled with W1 and just couldn’t see it working.
