CatSF Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi, I've been working through the program and have completed day 2 of week 6. I'm running an 11minute mile though, so didn't make the distance asked for in the 22-minute run. Should I go back a few days and work on running faster before I continue? Or keep going then work on speed at the end of the program? Any advice appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrishE Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 My opinion is always push on to the next week. Its totally normal not to reach the distance in the time given. Even though this program is great for beginners its based on a ten minute mile (I believe) which is extremely hard for those just starting. Work on speed later when your endurance is at its strongest at the end of the program. This all of course is just opinion and its all up to you in the end what you want to do. I just base mine on the experience I had. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clairey-Lou39 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I pushed through and I finished about a month ago. I've noticed that, since I finished, I'm gradually getting faster. I think it's because I know I can finish so I've started to up my pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusaZimm Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I had this question today when I completed Week 6 Day 2 and was supposed to have done a mile in 10 minutes. I did .9 miles. I figured I'd keep going with the program to build up to a half hour run, then repeat that regularly to increase the distance covered in 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 There is no rule on how far you should go. This course teaches 30 minutes of running endurance. That's your main focus. Run as slow as you possibly can or need to to maintain your run for the allotted time. Learn to run for 30 minutes, finish the program and then shore up the numbers and YOU WIN!!! jkg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob129 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 The pace definitely comes around when endurance picks up; I'm on W10 of the 10K app and the time drops off of the 5K segment of the nominal 10K run. On each run in week 10 I set new best 5K personal records. Azatol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
