Ashley Morris Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Went into week 5 assuming the workouts would be the same each day, just like weeks prior but I didn't even realize I was at 8 minutes on the second day. In the beginning I was struggling at 1 minute! I was dreading week 5 day 3 so much that I kept repeating day 2, today I finally thought I would try it and even agreed to stop half way at 10 minutes if it was too hard. When I got the half way notification I pushed through as much as I could. I'm so surprised that I only stopped to walk for one minute. I never thought I could run for (basically) 20 minutes straight. I'm so excited to continue today was a definite confidence booster! bstay2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liev Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 That's Great!! I just finished W5D3 and was so scared the night before I couldn't sleep. It went well and got all the way through my 20 minutes. Onward and upward for us!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomy Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Keep going we CAN do this!!! I have amazed myself today and ran (ok it may be slow) for 20 minutes. However, I only covered around 1.2 miles - I did it on a treadmill - should I move on to week 6 or repeat week 5 until I can hit the 2 mile mark? I did slow my pace down so that I could finish the 20 minutes? I don't know what to concentrate on time or distance (or both...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Broomy, congrats on the W5D3! I suggest to move on and complete the time schedule for the program. You can work on the speed after that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuleeB Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Made it to 18 minutes - should I try again on next run or move on? Inclined to try again for the full 20 minutes as I see the next run is shorter increments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 ...should I try again on next run or move on? It is entirely your decision! If you feel that you need to prove it to yourself - then repeat it until it is done as scheduled. If you are sure that you can do it - go ahead to the next day. In your place I would add additional (smaller) run interval to the W6D1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
