Hello!

[GamerGirlRuns]

Hi guys I just joined this community and thought I’d say hello! 👋🏼 I’ve just completed week 6 run 3 and I am exhausted! It took me a little longer than 6 weeks to get where I am now but I’m determined to get to 5K by the 9th week! I hope we can offer support to each other to reach our goals 😁🏃🏼‍♀️

This site is fantastic for support and encouragement x your nearly there then only 3 weeks or 9 runs to go! Yey! X I don’t run 5k in 30 mins but I’m not bothered x it’s more imp to run for the 30

Mins consistently to

Graduate x good luck

Thank you!! Yes I’m quite slow so it might take a bit longer to reach 5K. Good luck to you too xx

Welcome and congratulations on completing W6R3!

Edit: Oops, got my weeks mixed up. Apologies all. 🤔

[nowster Graduate in reply to ground_level]

No intervals after Week 6 Run 3.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to nowster]

None after week 6 run 2

[nowster Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Technically we're both right! 🤪

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Haha I guess so 😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to ground_level]

There are no intervals in week 7

[GamerGirlRuns in reply to ground_level]

Thank you! Ah yes I experienced this in week 6. Then was completely shocked when I saw week 7 that has no intervals! I’m sure I will be able to do it 😁

[ground_level in reply to GamerGirlRuns]

Totally got my weeks mixed up; apologies.

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Welcome to the forum , and congratulations on completing week 6 👍

As I'm sure you know , Graduation is about completing all the runs including 3x30 minutes on week 9.

Achieving 5k in the 30 minutes is not a requirement to graduate and only achieved by a small percentage .

Enjoy the last 3 weeks 😬👍

[GamerGirlRuns in reply to Instructor57]

Thank you very much. That’s good to know as I think it might take a little longer, but that doesn’t matter! 😁👏🏼

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to GamerGirlRuns]

Correct , don't stress about it .

I think I covered 3.9 k on my Graduation run

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Ha! I only covered 3.3K and look at us both now! 👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Yes, loving it 😬👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, no more walking breaks, by completing that run you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, onwards and upwards to week 7 which are all 3/25 minute runs, not long now until you graduate.

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.

Enjoy your journey.
