Hi,all. So I'm really struggling with week 5. Ive been doing all the weeks over twice to get my body used to running and it's helped, but I can't seem to run past the first initial 5 minutes. Week 5 day 1 is good, but day 2 and 3 is hard. I really want to run a 5k, but this is starting to make me discouraged. I know that this app is suppose to get me to run a 5k without stopping, but is that ideal for most people? And if so what can I do to overcome this?
