Another c2k5 question

btb079

Well, today I did w5d2 (8min, 5 min 8min) I did it, and finished running the entire time, the first few minutes were harder then the last of each run. What I am wondering is if I should run this again or move onto the 20 minute run. Have any of you had experience in this?

Generally, for me, the first 2-3 minutes are the hard ones for me, then it just gets easier. Go ahead and try the 20 minute run, you may be very surprised!

I kept moving forward even when I had to sneak in a walk here and there. See the post I just put up http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/517586-i-just-finished-c25k-and-i-want-to-pay-forward-advice-for-th

Go for it! Like you said... the first few minutes are the hardest. It still takes me about a mile to get into the groove, and after that, it's coasting.

If I was able to complete a run, I moved on to the next one.

I agree, if you can complete it, move on. I actually found the long runs easier than the mid-length, interrupted runs. It felt like my muscles were starting to stiffen during the walks and it made the beginning of the interval more difficult. What a relief it was to just keep going!

Good luck!

Thanks everyone! I will give it a go on Friday.
