Whew! You’ve made it through Week Five of the C25K running program (here’s my recap), so now it’s time to focus on Week Six. Here we go…
Once again, we’ll be departing from the “three identical workouts per week” routine. This time around, we’re building up to a 25 minute run on Day Three.
Here’s the plan:
Day One
- Start with a brisk 5 minute walk to warmup, followed by…
- Jog for 5 min
- Walk for 3 min
- Jog for 8 min
- Walk for 3 min
- Jog for 5 min
- End with 5 min of walking to cool down
Day Two
- Start with a brisk 5 minute walk to warmup, followed by…
- Jog for 10 min
- Walk for 3 min
- Jog for 10 min
- End with 5 min of walking to cool down
Day Three
- Start with a brisk 5 minute walk to warmup, followed by…
- Jog for 25 min non-stop
- End with 5 min of walking to cool down
We’re getting close to that magical half hour mark! The good news is that you went 20 minutes last week, and you’ll have had another couple workouts before the 25 minute run hits, so it’s all good.
Oh, and you better get used to the longer times… This is the last week we’ll be running the shorter intervals. Next week (and beyond) it’ll be three longer runs each week.
If you’ve been following along, great… Keep it up! If you’re interested in starting, please jump back to Week One and proceed from there.
