TanyaH Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi! I am on week 7 - have to run 2.5 miles in 25 minutes. Last time i was able to do only 2.2 miles in 25 min and the program told me to start my cooldown. Should i keep redoing this 7-1 day untill i am able to complete the requirement of speed, or should i run a little longer to reach 2.5 miles?

Guest TrishE Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 My opinion is shoot for distance and work on speed later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TanyaH Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks, Trish! I guess my problem is that i dont feel like i can press the button for 'workout completed' without completing it as directed. Is it harder to build endurance than speed?

Guest TrishE Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thats a tough question. They're both pretty hard but if your endurance is good pushing yourself that little bit faster each time is going to work out a lot better than if its poor. Building speed is just like building endurance do it in steps, one minute at a time all the way up to one mile at a time. Be patient with it it wont happen over night.

TanyaH Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Now - this is weird! Last week i was so excited: i ran 5k twice - felt great and strong, second time i even did it faster. I was planning to begin adding distance with each run ------ but ------ it has been a week (three attempts) and i have not been able to run this distance again ;((((. So crazy! My knees feel stiff, my heels feel stiff what should i do? Did i start sharing my success story too soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
