Welcome to week 6 of the Couch to 5K! Look how far you've come - after you complete this week, you'll be done with 2/3 of the program and will have no more intervals to run. Next week and beyond you can look forward to nothing but long runs! (Well, well, what have we here? -stares at you- Looks like we've got a runner on our hands!)

I'll keep the pep talk short this week; the spectre in the closet has been defeated and we've completed W5D3 - you already know you're a super star, so let's talk about what we are going to accomplish this week instead.

Week 6 marks the last week of interval training, meaning alternating periods of walking and running. Like last week, the work out is different every day this week and we'll end on a long run.

This week, the workouts are:

Workout 1: Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes)
Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)


Workout 2: Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
Jog 1 mile (or 10 minutes)
Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
Jog 1 mile (or 10 minutes)


Workout 3: Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog 2-1/4 miles (or 22 minutes) with no walking.


The end is in sight! Please use this thread to check in - tell us how you're doing, cheer each other on. We're really getting towards the end!
