cfstiff Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've just hit week 4, and I'm getting really stuck for the first time. Almost every other week, id either repeat one day or none at all - now I've tried week 4 probably about 7 times and only finished it once. I tried going back to week 3, and that feels fairly easy. Any tips? I'm starting to get rather frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend2most Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I am on week 4 as well! It is difficult. However you should try adjusting your pace! I am a 300 pound man and each day I wanted to give up but I push through and I always feel great after it! I hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 4th week is a huge increase in running time - 75%. On my first C25K I got it quite easy, since my pace was very slow. On my second C25k (6.5mph, 3% incline) I also stuck. I know I can reduce the pace of running and I will get it. But my goal this time is get the pace I want. So I am slowly preparing myself for this speed. For the first timer I would definitely reduce the pace. Also you may try week 3.5 : 3 min running, 2 min walking, 4 -7 intervals. After that 16 min of run (W4D1) should go easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
