Flee Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 So I just finished week 3 and a 3 minute run is still REALLY hard for me. I do it, but slowly and with a struggle. A big one. I am going to attempt week 4 ( a 5 minute run is in there ahh) but if I don't succeed, should I just restart week 3 all together? I know I'm not in the best mindset but it is good to know what the best option is if I fail. Have you had to restart a week before moving on?

torus_ot Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 What I would do (and may be it is not the best way) is try the W4D1. Try to finish it. If you have to - walk the rest of the exercise and then retry it until you can do it. Since you already can do week 3 it is time to challenge your body! BTW I think you will be pleasantly surprised when you try W4D1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flee Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I did not do well, my calves tightened up very badly within 2 minutes into the first 5 minute jog. So I stopped to stretch, decided it was too much and restarted week 3. Each run at the end of week 3 is 3 minutes so I am adding a minute to the very last run to build myself up. So week 3 day 1, on the last run I did 4 minutes instead of 3 minutes. On week 3 day 2, on the last run I did 4.5 minutes instead of 3 minutes. And tonight, on week 3, day 3, I did 5 minutes on the last run instead of 3 minutes. So it built me up to 5 minutes better and now I can attempt week 4 again on Monday, knowing I can do 5 minutes!
