Repeat or go on to W5?

[MarybellM]

Just getting ready for my run and need advice. I found the Week 4 runs tough (the last 2 particularly, which I did in the evening after a day’s work) and wondering if I should strike on with Week 5 this lovely sunny morning or do one more W4 run. I think I’m leaning towards a yes to striking on....Any thoughts?

Most will tell you that, even if you found them tough, if you completed the runs move on. No need to repeat. It’s all part of the journey transitions. Good luck!

Yay - I was secretly hoping someone would say that! I’m in the mood to push myself. Thank you - you are my virtual running buddy today!!! X

I’m about to go out and do Wk6R1 so I shall think of you today! Let me know how you get on 😁

[MarybellM in reply to RunNewForestRun]

All the best for you new level. 😊

I’d say definitely move on. They weren’t too tough that you didn’t manage them. 🙂

Push on - what’s the worst that can happen 😊

[MarybellM in reply to JetsNanna]

Just back and all went ok! The transition from Wk 4 to Wk 5 R 1 is actually very smooth and not too steep. So glad I followed the advice! Thanks to all for your support. 😊

We all knew that you could do it. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼

[RunNewForestRun Graduate in reply to MarybellM]

Well done you! Congrats. I’ve just back from mine 😊

[MarybellM in reply to RunNewForestRun]

Really glad you asked this - I found week 4 difficult and was thinking about repeating but reading these posts has spurred me to week 5! Well done on getting yours started 👏🏻👏🏻. Bring it on

[MarybellM in reply to VPOLLIE67]

Bring it on indeed! You can do it! 😊

[MarybellM]

Yet again, this forum is fantastic!!! 👍🏻

Move forward.... if you don't complete w5r1, repeat that, would be my advice... (it makes you slightly more determined to get through that run, I think).

Not read on yet, but hope you did and smashed it! ✊

[Plattszo Graduate]

You did it!! Well done!! 👏👏👏

I agree, you managed to complete the week 4 runs 😊 I would push on and go for it! I bet you'll smash it. Good luck 🏃‍♂️👍😁
