Guest Tina Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi there. I have a question. So i keep reading some of these questions and now i am second guessing myself. Have just finished week 2 day 2. I have not had to take a break while running and i m pushing myself to finish it but i have read on hear that some people are repeating weeks. Should i continue to push through and continue on to the next week as long as i am not having to stop or should i repeat each week until i can finish without being out of breath. I am doing this c25k monday Wednesday and Friday. Tuesday's and Thursday i work on the elliptical machine and rowing.thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soculese Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think you have to base it on how you feel after you get done each day. I am on W3 D2 and have repeated it. There is no shame in wanting to wait till you are ready to move on. The worst thing that can happen in repeating a day is that you get in an extra workout...which is in no way a bad thing, right? I don't think there is a hard and fast rule about how hard you have to push yourself. Obviously you want to feel like you have done an exercise regimen but you don't want to feel like you have just been shot in the gut but a cannon. My goal is to find the spot in between the two and recognize that if I feel like I have been beaten down by one of the days then it is worth repeating that day. I've been at it for 4 weeks and am on week 3 of the program. I think the more important thing to NOT do is skip ahead. If you are at W2D2 and feel the need to repeat don't sweat it. Know that in the end you are still doing something positive and healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi Tina, Thanks Soculese for the advice. I base it all on how you feel when you run. If I fail big time, then i repeat that day until I get it. Do not ever beat yourself up if you have to repeat days, it makes you a better runner. So proud of you . Keep going...

Guest Tina Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks. When i am done i feel good. I havent felt like i have had to stop running. I was just thinking that i was suppose to feel different or something. I think i will continue until i do have to stop. Then i will repeat that day. Thanks for the support. My husband is great support but it is nice to hear from people who are doing the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
