Finished W6D2 last night and had a much better time than I've been having. I finally quit counting (I count in my head while I run), and feel like I focused on running so much better and even enjoyed a few moments here and there.

@Slainte831 i don't do anything on my off days besides normal work/parking far from places to walk more/ house work. I do add strength training on my running days so I can do both and still have days off. Its less laundry too (only 1 outfit/ 1 warm up/cool down).

I was having knee problems and thought maybe running wasn't for me, but I found some hip exercises online that help with knee pain. They relieved the pain by my next run and I haven't had trouble since. If you're interested you could probably just Google hip exercises for runners. Hope you feel better!

What are u going to do after that? I'm at week 6 in the same program and have thought about trying the 10k program next but I'm not really sure I like running, lol.

I did w5d3 on Sunday and was amazed I did it. I did w6d1 today and went into it with the mindset it would be easy because of the walking breaks. I was very wrong. I completed it but it was HARD! I don't think I'll underestimate a run again. Its better when I know its going to be a challenge and mentally prep for it.

@cazbit i feel you! I had to repeat days twice now and I try my best to focus on the effort it took to try and the amount I did accomplish instead of the really small part I couldn't do. Your body worked hard for you and you listened to it. Everyday makes us stronger. Even when you don't reach the goal, you're miles from…

Finished w5d2! Didn't want to. Got up and sat in my workout clothes 40 min before I got myself out the door. It was not a bad run at all. The 2nd 8 min run was hard toward the end but not the "life and death" struggles I felt I was having in previous weeks, lol.

Just about to start w5d1. This is the week I've been nervous about approaching. However, now that I'm here I realize every week is the hardest thing I've ever done until it gets harder and then looking back it doesn't seem so bad anymore. I can't wait to be looking back on w5!
