Eel05 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 ive finally managed to complete week 8 (with only 2 short walks(less than 30seconds) due to the excessive hill I decided to run up) overall I would consider this a win! Yay for me! However I have a few questions for those of you who have completed it! Does week 8 involve covering 5k in the 28 mins or over the whole warmup/run/cooldown aspect? What did you do after you completed it? I have gleaned at the 10k app and an hour is a long long time to commit to 3 times a week? I'm considering keeping up the 5k runs 3 times per week until I get to a point that they are too easy or consistently easy at least! At the moment it's hot and miss if I can run for the full duration despite having run week 7 over 4 times it seemed very hit and miss - one day I could do it, the next I couldn't, then I could do it again! Any advice or response would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjan Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Man good you did it Today was my first day of week 8 and I could not run without breaks in between!!!!! Tomorrow will try again! You did it! I think 30 minutes should include 5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel05 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Today I went out for another week 8 day 1! I've done it successfully 2/3 times now and completed week 7 day 3 successfully a few times also! Problem today was, I got 8 minutes in and my chest was sore, almost under my lungs! I couldn't carry on and had to walk the rest. My route was no different than a previous successful attempt! Any clues as to what went wrong? I had a good sleep, had eaten my usual pre run breakfast beforehand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel05 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I think it's the same thing!!had another bad run on Monday. Starting to think I need to change up my route to get back in the right place mentally! Been shopping for new shoes the past few days so hoping it'll help slightly!

Eel05 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 A much better run today, 28 mins wth a 10 second walk at 8 mins to go. A minor sprint in the middle after a run in with 2 geese and their gosling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
