Jessica Kidwell Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I am stuck on week 4. I just finished week 4 for the second time. I can't run 5 min. My calves tighten up and my right shin hurts. I take a couple days off and then do it again and have the same results. My first 5k is in two weeks and I am afraid I will end up walking alot of it.

torus_ot Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Jessica, Obviously you are trying run too fast. Slow down to "schlepping" . Make shorter stride and try not to run on the hard surface (for your shins). Sometimes I am having problem with calf too. It helps if I monitor my stride and watch that my lower part of leg is relax when I move it forward. But main part is slowing your pace.

Breezee Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Who cares if you walk all of it??? You are doing 100% more than those on the couch. Do what you can and have fun.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverotter Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 it took me 3 1/3 weeks to finish week 4 (walk 5, jog 3, walk 1.5, jog 5, etc), but I did it. Being able to do that second 5 minute jog was a killer. I also had to repeat week 3. It took me two tries to finish day 1 of week five, and I did day 2 in one try. Trying day 3 tomorrow. Stay with it! I knew after week 2 I probably wouldn't finish this in 8 weeks, and am now on more of a 13 week schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Kidwell Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks. I am the turtle when it comes to running. I have no where to run that doesn't have a hard surface. I will keep trying to run softly. I have given myself several days off. I am going to try again tomorrow morning with my shin taped up.

Riverotter Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 the first 5 weeks seem to be about endurance, not speed. When you hit week 6, it seems they want you to pick up the pace. I started doing this the first week of June. It's been 12 weeks, and I haven't even finished week 6 yet! But I've done days 1 & 2 in week six and haven't had to repeat! First week since week 1 I haven't had to repeat a day! I've gotten my lazy butt out there 3 days a week. Now a couple of times I had to stop my run after a few minutes because of pain in my foot once and hip once, and one day it just seemed like I was just unable to do much, but those days were few. I've run a slow as I could. When I hear that "1 minute left" message, I try to pick up the pace and today (week 6, day 2) I tried to pick up the pace for most of my jog.
