DisneyFanSAM Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I am in week 3 and I am having a hard time run/jogging the 3 min. Should I keep doing week 3 until I am comfortable? I really don't think I can do week 4 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi there Disney Fan, Welcome here. Sorry you are struggling with those days. Yes, repeat if you want to until you get a little stronger. Sometimes it is all in our heads. Don't look at your phone when you run either, put it down (per Azatol), that will help and listen to fantastic music. I wouldn't repeat the week for a long time, but just til you feel comfortable enough to move on. You can do it !!!!! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrishE Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Agreed. Sometimes all your brain needs is to see how well the body can push it self when challenged. When you feel comfortable give week 4 a try. I think youll be surprised with yourself. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hey Disney. How have you been doing??? Sorry. I've been traveling and internet has been sketchy. Hoping all is ok. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyMike Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 When I started running as well, those 3 minutes of running was horrible and I thought, no way can I run 5 minutes next week, and definitely not 20 minutes a few weeks after that! I just finished week 6 and I'm thinking back how hard I first thought those 3 minutes were. You will get there and don't let it slow you down. Push those bad thoughts out of your head and run run run! You will do great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey Harley Mike. We ride Harley's too. Keep on going with t he app. Don't get discouraged at all. Just repeat days of you need to. Do some strength training in too. That will so help you. Let me know if I can help you. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat94 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I felt as if I was struggling with the 3 min runs, so what I did was repeat that week again, but would also complete the first week workout after that. My body got used to longer workouts, so that helped. I then realized that my brain was playing tricks on me. Just because you think you're having a hard time doesn't mean you can't try to do the 5 min runs. If you have to pause to take a break, take a break! Just don't take one for too long and don't take one for laziness It's better to try and not do so well than to not try at all. Good luck!!
