13daysaweek Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Friday I finished up week 4. It was a rough one for me, but it did end with success. Leading up to week 4, I had opted to repeat week 3 because I didn't feel I was ready for week 4. My first run on week 4 was a struggle. I made it through the first 3 minute run and the first 5 minute run but couldn't complete the second 3 and 5 minute runs. Week 4 run 2 was even worse, but I'm pleased to say that I made it through week 4 run 3 completely and it felt really good to be successful. I'm wondering, when I find that I'm unable to complete a run like this, what's the best thing to do? Should I just power through, run as much as I can and walk the remainder then advance to the next run? Or, is this a signal that I should go back and re-do the previous week? Thanks!

torus_ot Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 My personal take on this - repeat! Otherwise you will be missing everyday virtual "achievement medal"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djplong Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I always repeated a 'failed' session. But I was also using a tracker (like MapMyRun or Runkeeper) so that, even in a 'failed' session, I could usually see improvement - that I went further or lasted long or maybe went faster than a previous session. It would make it very satisfying when I'd finally break through and conquer a troublesome session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
