Great run on week 6 day 3

[standBack_iKnowRegexp]

I had such a good run today. I was a little concerned that I was going to have a problem because the 20mins of week 5 day 3 was not pretty and neither was week 6 day 1 (and I went really gentle on week 6 day 2.) I thought if it didn't go well today I might have to go back and repeat this week, but after managing 22mins with good pacing, I think I'm ready to move on to the longer continuous running of week 7.

 

It was also a really good feeling that for the first time my legs truly felt like they could carry me all the way. *happy glow *

Nice going.  I know the feeling.  This program is quite amazing.

 

I added the Squats and Pushup apps by this company and have found them very helpful.  What I really found was how atrophied my leg and butt muscles had become.  Running is much, much easier with those muscles all fired up.  Note, I do them after a run on the same day and then rest one or two days.  My last session day was Monday.  But, then today, I felt like running again, and after only one day of rest,  it went fine.  Even on rest days, I try to walk 10,000 steps.   We need to listen to our bodies and figure out what they're telling us.

I am exactly the same. the only run I have been worried about was 5-3. the halfway snuck right up but then it was a tuff finish but I did it. week 6 has been done. tomorrow is 6-3 so a little nervous. I too have thought that I can redo a day if need be. I just registered for my 5k which is a week after I would finish the app. I love this app!!
