Skipped Week 2 - is this ok?

[stacey27]

Hi everyone -

I have enjoyed the programme so far and can feel my cardio fitness increasing in all areas of my life.

I ran W2R1 and felt 'comfortable', and so decided today to skip to Week 3. It was tough, I pushed it, but managed the 3 minutes each time (even with a sore knee!)

Is this ok to do this?

Of course it is if you feel comfortable with it, then go for it! I'd be a bit more cautious about skipping weeks later on though. I skipped week 1 because I'd already been running for a couple of weeks when I found the app, and found it a bit too easy, and I skipped a run later because I was running wk6 at the rate of 1 run per week and I thought I'd push on with the option of repeating the week if it got too difficult. The advantage of this app is that Claire is the gentlest of personal trainers and she never shouts at you for your decisions, and the forum is great for support.
