pistolgirl13 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hey I'm new here. I just finished week 1 today however I am super out of shape and very overweight so week one was very difficult. On the first day I had to walkthrough 2 and 1/2 minutes of the jogging time. Today however I was able to jog through it all it just wasn't easy and I felt like I was dying by the end LOL. My question is should I repeat week 1 since I haven't done any real cardio in many years due to injuries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleBkPkr Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Only you can really decide but if it helps any, more than a few of us have repeated a week. I don’t believe the program is a “cookie cutter” that everyone will fall into exactly. Go at your own pace! Don’t give up, you got this pistolgirl13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabapple Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I did week 1, then week 1, then week 2 then tried week 3 and went back to 2, then did week 2, and today finished week 1 again. So that's a total of 6 weeks to date - and I'll be starting week 2 again on Monday. I'm at the point where most of the time I can run for a full minute and, if it's not up hill and I'm having a good day, I can run for a minute and a half. An important note if you are keeping track of your runs: When you do a day or week over, it erases what you've done, so you might want to write down your runs (dates, times, and distances) on paper or in a program like Fitbit or Google Fit, etc. pistolgirl13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabapple Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 By the way, my post was meant to encourage you not discourage you. I hope it did what I intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistolgirl13 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Silver Pie, I totally got where you were coming from. I have a friend doing this with me so we agreed to repeat week one. I'm so motivated right now I'm wanting to push so hard but I know what an injury can do to derail you so I'm slowing down a smidge lol. Thank you all for your help and encouragement!
