Couch to 5k week 3

[Nanda101]

What do we do on ‘couch to 5k’ week 3?

Hi Nanda, this is from the NHS website:

‘For your 3 runs in week 3, you will begin with a brisk 5-minute walk, then 2 repetitions of 1-and-a-half minutes of running, 1-and-a-half minutes of walking, 3 minutes of running and 3 minutes of walking.’

Hope that answers your question!

Welcome to the forum.

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, as well as a link to a spreadsheet breakdown of the plan.

Enjoy your journey.
