MaryK Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I had completely the c25k and moved onto the 10k app. I did the first day of week 9 and it was hard but I was able to finished it. Now twice I attempted to finish day 2 and I can't get past 20 min of running. I don't understand why I'm suddenly struggling so much. I'm feeling very discouraged as I have worked very hard to run. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hi MaryK, SO, you started the 10k app at week 9? Maybe push it back a few weeks and see if that helps? You are doing awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryK Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Well kellyb I only started from week nine because it's the next step directly after finishing week 8 of c25k. I was running outdoors then running on a treadmill (which is much easier). Then have been away from home & tried running out doors.. Struggled through the first ten min.. Walked for a minute then was suppose to go another 10 min but couldn't finish it without stopping a couple times.. Then 20 min total was all I could handle... I had been running 30+ min outdoors not 2 weeks ago.. & running 40 min on the treadmill.. Just seems bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherjjp Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've found doing an extra day 3 just to check you can actually finish a week has helped. I've had to repeat quite a few weeks but have found second time around I have done them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Wow, what teacher says too, add another day? Running on a treadmill is way easier too. The belt helps you along. Sometimes our bodies need a break. I have to deal with altitude too.. I am at 5000 feet and it way harder, and when I am on a trip and it is sea level, i can run like forever, lol. How are you feeling now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
