week 5 harder than 6?

Why is week 5 run 3 harder than week 6 run 1? 😀

W6R1 trips up more people than any other workout in the programme. It is also the longest overall duration in the plan, up to that point.

If you look at the overall duration of both run and walk intervals you will see that it gently ramps up. W6R2 is admittedly shorter than the preceding run, but has two 10 minute runs and is longer than all of W5 sessions. W6R3 again increases duration.

I don't know whether you have actually done W6, but many find it one of the toughest weeks, so if you found it easy, count yourself lucky.

In my opinion week 5 is not harder, just at that stage we are not as fit as by the end of week 6. That’s how I felt.

I thought week 6 was a sneaky, tricky one!!!

I agree with others....week 6 caught me off guard a little...can't tell you why but W6R1 was one of my worse....
