JeanneD1 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I have been able to complete week 6 day 2 (jog 10 min walk 3 min & jog 10 min). I CANT however get they week 6 day 3 (jog 22 min). I am not sure if it's in my head or that I am physically not able to do it. I start off good than my calves feel heavy and my shins start to hurt. I am running on a treadmill at 0% incline. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I have my 1st 4mile race on March 5th. thank you!

I suggest You run W5D3 again and at the end push yourself for 2 more minutes. Do not look at the timer! Reduce you pace, make smaller strides (help with shines). Also you can try to take day off. You will get there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezzo Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I've posted about the same sort of issue. In the end I went back to the beginning of the program running double runs (doing each day twice in a row). My fitness has improved heaps and I'm pretty confident I can do it this time. Probably not as helpful with your race next week, but an idea to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
