i just tried to do week 6, run 3 which is a 25 minute run, and it didn't go so well. I ran for 10 minutes, stopped to grab a drink and fix my hair and then i felt like i might faint. so i decided to walk very slowly to see if i would feel better...and i did. i ended up running another 10 minutes so i did get 20 minutes of running in, but still didn't complete week 6.
since the rest of the c25k program is just running for 25 minutes or more for the next 3 weeks, i'm deciding to switch to mom's program. i think i'll try to start at week 7 and see how that goes. Run 4 minutes, walk 2 minutes 10 times. back to training on Monday and running on Tuesday.
Bummer it didn't go so great... But still, 20 minutes of running is awesome!!! I went and ran 2 min, walk 3 for 10 times... And I went 5.5 for my running do that's like 1.8 miles that I ran over 20 minutes! It felt really easy too- which was nice. Hope week 7 goes well for you Kristi! It's more total running than you've been doing but lots more walk breaks too. :)
