Hi, I was supposed to be starting week 5, run 1, but for whatever reason I did run 2 by mistake. On other weeks this wouldn't be a problem, as runs repeat, but week 5 ramps up. So my question is- should I backtrack to run 1, or repeat run 2 for my second run of week 5, bearing in mind that run 3 is a biggy?
On a personal level, I was chuffed that I competed this run, if only slightly ahead of time 😁
Are you using the app?
Yes, I must of pressed the wrong option, stuffed my phone in my pocket and of I went.
Odd. I didn’t think it let you do them out of order. The one you app?
It's the NHS couch to 5k app with Laura.
App or podcast? Either way I would just repeat that run, then move on.
The app is better. The one you turquoise and yellow app. You can play your own music and it will turn the volume down when the trainer speaks. Laura is on it too.
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.
Well done on starting C25k. I’d suggest you just repeat the run next time .
Well you’ve done it once, do it again and carry on.
Having just completed wk 5 I would just do run 2 again. Btw the feeling when you compete run 3 and you’re still standing and breathing is off the scale! Enjoy 😊
I made the same mistake and repeated and carried on !Good luck with your running.
Thank you all for your replies, I'm going to repeat W5R2 before the next dreaded R3. Stay safe.
I ran for 20 minutes!
And today - I ran for 5k :)
I ran WITH the Wizard!
I ran and ran and ran...My first ever 10K run!!!
