Oh I forget to add that when I run its outside. Does that make a difference? I figured to train for a 5k it would have to be outside because the 5ks are outside.

I dont even run that fast. I consider it just a jog more or less. Week 5 day 1 I can do the 5 minute run with the walk and then the 3-minute Run with the walk and cool down which is fine it's just the next one that goes to the 8 min is killing me. I find myself stopping and take a quick break and then going back. I do finish after breaks, but I want to be able to do it all without stopping.

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?
