Alesi143 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I did W4/D1 last night and it murdered me, almost. I was very nervous starting this week since it's a huge jump from week 3 to 4 and the last 5 minute jogging stretch had me mentally beat that I was very tempted to stop jogging and walk for a bit. However, I pushed myself and did it!! I actually did it! Felt great finishing!! My legs were super sore afterwards but with a good stretch I was good to go. I'm training to jog my first 10k and this app has been an amazing tool! It's true what people say, it's all mental. Pacing myself has also helped tremendously! Although my pace isn't great I am seeing an improvement each week and that's a huge motivator! Nervous about the upcoming weeks but I'm excited!

KellyAnn Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hi there Alesi, Welcome here. Yay. Sooooo proud of you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alesi143 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks KellyAnn! When I started this program I did it with the mindset that I would fail and boy am I proving myself wrong. I'm already on W6/D2...there have been some tough and challenging days but it feels so rewarding at the end. There hasn't been a day that I didn't feel challenged! Who ever came up with this training is a genius! Can't wait to finish the program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie123 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I just finished week 4 day 1. I didn't think I'd be able to do it but it's done! I just need to figure out how to keep myself intrinsically motivated. I'm not the best at sticking to work out programs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alesi143 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I found that W4/D1 was very difficult but D2 seemed better. You'll do great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alesi143 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Blayne, never thought I would find myself saying this but yes "running is great". As challenging as the training has been I've been truly enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esther Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I did week 4 day one and only had to stop once in each of the 5 minute jogs. Today I couldn't even finish day 2. Any tips? So far I haven't had to repeat a week but I expect that I will with this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Esther Go for repeat, it is OK. Week 4 has biggest increase in running time - 75%. Also try to do it slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outofshape Carla Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Did Wk4D1 today and I feel like I failed. I had to walk half of the last five minutes of running, couldn't breathe (I smoke), I seriously wanted to lay down on the sidewalk but I at least kept moving. I have never been athletic or a runner and was feeling pretty good about my progress until today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insidia Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Week 5 day 3 for me and I'm apprehensive. I handled Day 2 fairly well yesterday (tired and wanted to stop but I never stop unless I feel something is terribly wrong or will go terribly wrong if I don't,) but yesterday I had that 5 minute break to recover both my breath and strength before my next 8 minute run. Tomorrow I have to run 20 minutes straight, and I'm not sure if I can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
