Moving on from C25K - shaky, stiff legs during rest intervals

Hi all. Hoping that someone can offer some advice - I completed C25K a couple of weeks ago and am now attempting a 10K app. Ive currently completed 2 runs (5min warm up walk, 10 min run then 1 min walk x 4, 5 min cool down) however I’m finding it really difficult to keep to just a 1 min break between each 10 min run especially in the last 2 sets. This is because my legs feel shaken and stiff during the 1 min walk and not because I’m exhausted/ out of breath. I noticed my legs felt like this during walking sections of the C25K such as run 2 week 6, however as the walking break was 3 minutes That was long enough for my legs to return to feeling more ‘normal’. Can anyone offer any sort of advice to help me with this? x

You should go on to the bridge to 10k forum and follow juju’s magic plan which you’ll find in the pinned posts. You’ll get more advice over there. This is for couch to 5k.
