Training for 5k

Defeated The Resistance today and completed week 4 out of 8 of training for a 5k. Week 4 is a tough week for a lot of people. It’s the first time where you run more than you walk.

I see people online that feel intimitated by the new challenges each week brings and wonder if they should stick with the easier weeks to build up their fitness level. I used to be one of those people. The last time I tried the couch to 5k training program I stuck with an easier week “until I was ready”. I never made it past week 3.

We rarely feel ready for life’s new challenges. The only way through them is to go forward. Don’t stick with the easy path until you feel ready. You are ready now. Just do the damn thing.
