Manic_mama Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Just finished day one of week five. I was assuming it was going to be a repeat of day one and I was feeling like this was going to be an easy week until I looked at the rest of the week!!! Yikes! I am trying to look at the positive but it is a bit intimidating. I don't want to get discouraged if I can't complete it the first time. Just curious if others have had the same experience?

Guest TrishE Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 For sure! You are not alone, week five is a huge jump and it is intimidating to say the least haha Honestly just try your best, visualize and conquer. It sounds silly but it has been shown that athletes who visualize themselves as fit and strong can push themselves farther than those who dont. I just read that in SHAPE (fitness) today. Worst case scenario you have to walk which is still great exercise, either way you win Good luck and keep up the great work. You can do it!

pinniped Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 OMGosh, I just finished W5D1, and was amazed at how much easier it seemed than any of the days in W4. Then I saw your post, and went and looked at the scheduled. So much for easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic_mama Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Apparently, I am a very slow runner! I fullfilled my jogging times on week 5 day 2 but was not able to cover the distance. I am going to give it another try. I am not doing the program to truly train for a 5k, I am doing it to just get my body moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel05 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I spread week 5 over 2 weeks! Did each day twice and that really helped!! Maybe mentally it helped more than anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djplong Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I ran into a metaphoric wall for W5D3. I might have been a bit overconfident that Days 1 & 2 weren't as much of a struggle. I stepped back to W5D2 today as I've been on vacation for a week and I feel MUCH more confident about Monday's run. It'll have taken a few tries but I KNOW I'm going to beat this.
