tamap19 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 It is really cold outside and we have a fairly strong wind in East Tennessee today, maybe that's why I couldn't transition from 8 minute run blocks to 20 minutes without a walk break. SO should I repeat all of week 5, or repeat the day I failed, or how do I move on? I did the entire exercise plus almost 8 additional minutes, but only jogged 11 mins twice with a couple of walk breaks in between, so I am obviously not ready for this big of an increase in running time. I don't want to get discouraged. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I think week five day 3 should be further ahead. It looks like a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob129 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 You didn't fail at all. You were out there. I'd repeat the day again; and find the right pace. tamap19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yeah I checked and C25k is all out of order. I'm switching to "Run Double" for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Maybe it needs reinstalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Looks like its the same on the other app but why would you go from 8 to 20 minute runs then back to two 10s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedingsloth Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 The app is not wrong, I agree that it almost sounds impossible but trust the app and trust the training that you've done when you get there, and it is a case of mind over matter. There are a number of threads on this forum discussing how challenging it seemed(myself included) but you will be surprised once you get there and get past it.

SteveJ Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Exactly what Speedingsloth said...trust the app and program. You'd be surprised at what you can do. Slow and steady... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Im just gonna switch it up so its easiest to hardest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Wait now if you go by total run time it is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamap19 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I am going to try again today, but if I feel I can't do it I will take a 2 minute walk 10 or 11 minutes in. I really love this app. I know we all have different paces, I am just a tad dissapointed I couldn't do it. I also think the colder weather limited my air intake, We had a bad windchill factor that day, (Our winter has thus far been warmer than normal so this was a sudden change for me, I hadn't ran in this kind of temp yet) so I HOPE today will be the hurdle I cross. Thanks all. Love the forums too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
