Week 5 run 3

[142608]

I completed it!!! I’m so proud. I was so nervous because I didn’t believe I could actually run for 20mins hahaha feel I could improve onit before I move on to week 6 so going to do run 3 until I’m confident and don’t feel like I’m struggling atal. Who would have thought that I could run for 20mins I used to dislike running so much and now I’m really starting to enjoy it 😄

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

Stay nice and slow for W6R1, which catches out more people than any other run in the programme.

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 !And you enjoyed it that much that you want to do it again and again ! 😁

There is no need to though !

If you completed it why not move on ?

You will be physically ready , that's how the program works !

Whatever you decide to do though, keep enjoying !

[142608 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

I did have a rest day, just completed week 6 run 3 and oh my god I struggled for some reason!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to 142608]

Well done, just keep the pace down on these continuous runs , So you always have enough left in the tank to finish !

And keep hydrated .

Enjoy the rest of the program!
