Looking forward through the program and zooming out from the dreaded 5 minutes here, 8 minutes here…. 20 minutes!!! Am I right in thinking that C25K is less daunting when looking at the bigger picture??
20 minutes of exercise weeks 1 & 2. Just 18 minutes for week 3. Then 21.5 minutes week 4. Drop back to 21/20 for week 5 then a gradual increase to 30 minutes to week 9.
Eureka!
The total exercise time only ever increases by 10 minutes in 9 weeks! By keeping the brisk walk brisk all we do is close the gaps and build the muscle!
Analysis over. (I’m clearly on a rest day, eager for tomorrow.) Ha!

That's a pretty succinct analysis of the programme, but don't discount your brisk warmup and cooldown walks, as they are a crucial part of the plan.
This breakdown of W5 gives a slightly more detailed focus on that part of the programme and illustrates the processes behind it all. healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Ah! I should have known Iannodatruffe. Put far better by yourself in that written post! That’s exactly my Eureka moment right there. Got to start coming to you first!
