C25K Check-In: Week 6 in the Books!
You have officially crossed a massive threshold! Week 6 is where many Couch to 5K programs transition away from walk intervals and into non-stop running. If you ran continuously this week without stopping, take a moment to realize how far you've come since Week 1!
Pro-Tip for Week 6: Mind over muscle! At this point, your body has built the physical endurance—most of the challenge now is mental. Trust your training, break long runs into smaller mental chunks, and keep your gaze looking forward, not down at your feet.
We are officially 2 weeks out from the Race 4 Freedom on Saturday, September 12th! The endurance you are building right now is getting you ready to cross that finish line and stand up for survivors with ICT SOS.
Comment: Did you run without stopping this week?
