danpincus Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Something someone wrote today about the transition from 3:3 to 4:1 made me go back and look at the walk and jog times. Jogging in 3:3 is in 90 secs, 3 minutes, and 3 minutes, while in 4:1 it's in 5, 3, and 5 minute segments. I wonder why the first jog segment in 4:1 is not 2, 3 or 4. A two minute increase seems like a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 That was me... When I started my second C25K with faster walk, faster run and bigger incline I was doing fine. Until Week 4 which I failed. I was trying to understand why it happens. Week Running time Increase to previous day 1 8min -- 2 9min 12.5% 3 9min 0% 4 16min 77.8% 5.1 15min -6.25% 5.2 16min 6.7% 5.3 20min 25% 6.1 18min -10% 6.2 20min 11.1% 6.3 22min 10% 7 25min 13.6% 8.1&2 28min 12% 8.3 30min 7.1% I would suggest that week 4 should be 3x4min runs - total 12 min. It will make the increase in running time 33% from week 3 to 4 and 25% from week 4 to 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
