Week 5 done

[Ladydubai]

Week 5 been tough as I was unwell for a couple of days. Completed run 3 which is a big jump up to 20 mins solid run and I never thought I could do it. Picked Michael Johnson as my talking coach and I’m glad I did. His voice is amazing to listen to and encourage me. Week 6 here I come

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.

Congratulations on completing week 5, 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 🏃🏾.

Thank you and I did notice that. However wk 5 run 3 came as a surprise . Wee short runs them wham 20 mins just like that

Yes 8 minutes run one day and a 20 minutes run 48 hours later is a big jump, however, the program has cleverly prepared you for it, very few runners give up before the 20 minutes are completed.

Yes it’s very well programmed . I listen to my talking mentor and do it at my own pace . I will do this !!! Lol
