Monday morning 6:00am will be the start of Week 5 for me!0

Starting it tonight after my first weekend back at work from maturnity leave. Not looking foreword to it after 2 12 hr shifts. Only oncedid I make it for the full 5 min both times one week 4. It was close but it does not count. Figured I would give it a shot and if I need to I can repeat. Let's do this!!0

I think I may repeat week 5. Well... maybe day 2 for a few days.... The 2nd 8 min run gives me trouble. I tried day 3 and I'm just not ready to run 25 min at once.0
-
I am! I'm excited but scared! I am mostly hoping the weather is not so hot and humid as it has been. Friend request sent!0

Can't wait to see how everyone does! Istone03 - isn't it 20 min not 25?????0

Just finished week 5 run 2!!! Felt pretty good. Good luck to all those who are yet to start week 5, you CAN do this:)0

I wonder if different apps have different times?
MIne says:
W5D1 three 5 minute runs
W5D2 8 minutes 5 minutes 8 minutes
W5D3 20 minutes0 -
W5D1 finished. First 5 min run was easy. First time I looked down at my watch was 30 sec till the walking. Surprised me. Heck yeah. May be W5D3 is not to far out of reach.0
-
Doing W5D1 today after work. Eep!0
-
Starting W5 next week!!! Feel free to friend me!!0

I just did Day 2 of Week 5 yesterday. I thought there were three runs instead of just two 8 min runs so I ended up running after the "cool down" ended. I'll probably be doing day 3 tonight or tomorrow night.0

Everyone is doing so great!
I tackled day one early this morning, with no problems. Such a long way from a week ago, when I was frustrated and struggling with the 5 min segments.
fjrandol - you got this....just take it slow 0 -

WAY TO GO MUNDY!!0 -
I did W5D2 this morning. It was surprisingly easy! My day 3 shows Warmup 5:00, jog 8:00, walk 2:00, jog 10:00, walk 2:00. I use the C25K app on iPhone called Run 5K by Lucius Kwon and Kasten Searles.0

That's weird! W5D3 is supposed to be the 20 minute run.0 -

On my app W6D3 is the 20 minute run.0 -

Out of curiosity, how weeks is the program on your app?0 -
Day two of week 5 tomorrow. Two 8 min runs doesn't seem tooo scary...0
-
I may have screwed myself for tomorrow morning....I just got home from a 45 minute bike ride on the Prairie Path
8 minutes? Only twice? HA! Piece of cake ! We definitely have this whipped!0 -
Okay I made it through day 1 no problem! Hopefully the rest of the week will go equally smoothly :-)0

Week 5 Day 2 is DONE!!!
Weren't too bad
2.13 miles at 14:32 minutes per mile (that includes the 5 minute warm up and cool down)0 -
Way to go, FJRANDOL....
Day 2 done here....the two 8 min jogs went fine...no real issues. 13min miles for the first two - basically a 5 min walk and an 8 min jog came out to exactly a mile for me. I did a longer cool down just because of how far from home I ended up - so total 2.4miles for me. WHOOO HOOOO! Definitely will need to slow it down for the 20 min one later this week.
Keep the updates coming, everyone!0 -
Thought i'd come and join you as I did W5D2 today and plan for W5D3 on Friday, I know I can do it, I used to do 5k's before having children, but 2 children & 4 years down the line argh0

You are waaaayyy ahead of me - I've never been a runner. (I guess at some point, I'll have to stop saying that....) - The 8 minute segments from day 2 this morning were the longest I've ever jogged in my ENTIRE life. day 3 is a little scary.0 -
Tomorrow is my W5D2, did W5D1 on Tuesday. I did my first 5K last Sept but I've never been a runner. Last year I did the majority of my running on a treadmill and knew that this year I needed to get outside. My second 5K will be in Sept. It's my breathing that I need to concentrate on, slow and steady....0

I just peeked ahead to Week 6 Day 1.
Warmup
jog 5
walk 3
jog 8
walk 3
jog 5
That's only 18 minutes total, and shorter than Day 3 of Week 5. So if we get thru Friday, Monday should be a breeze!0 -
I was scared and it was super hot but....I completed week 5 run 3!!! Yay me:). I am running my first ever 5k in October and I am really excited that I was able to complete the 20 min!0
-
W5D2 seemed okay for the first 8, but I'm fairly certain the second round of running was waaaay more than 8 minutes long. Had to drop my speed down again, but at least I kept going the whole time! 0

SUPER!! Did you find you had to slow your pace from previous intervals, or did you do this at the same as the prior day?I was scared and it was super hot but....I completed week 5 run 3!!! Yay me:). I am running my first ever 5k in October and I am really excited that I was able to complete the 20 min!0
