Yes, this version of Start2Run is rather different from the C25K:
It is meant for people who have ran before, but quit running 6 months ago, and can still run for 5 minutes without walking.
Start2Run comes in different 'flavours':
5K in 10 weeks, for the average beginner.
5K in 6 weeks, when you haven't ran for 2 months, but still are able to run easily for 10 mins.
5K in 8 weeks, when you haven't ran for 6 months, but still are able to run easily for 5 mins.
5K in 15 weeks, when you only want to run 2 x/W, and combine it with a 'cross-training' of 1 hour swimming, 1 hour cycling or 8K walking.
5K in 15 weeks, when you're injury-prone, when you are slight to moderately overweight, have a very bad condition or are a have smoker... and you are very patient.

Well I can say I pushed myself but just couldn't do it.
What I was supposed to do (plus 5 min warm up and cool down):
1 min walk
5 min run
x 8
What I did:
1 min walk
5 min run
x. 5
then I walked 2 minutes
then I ran 3 minutes. I tried to push it but I just couldn't. Did my usual cool down and headed back to the flat. Day 1 is the hardest of each week so I will do days 2 and 3 this week and repeat week 6 next week.
Oh - and it seems my period started today. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? |

Ran W4D3 of C25K this morning with Copper. We're pretty tired, but feel good otherwise. Hard to believe that we're nearing the 1/2 way point of the program.  I'm thinking of signing up for a 5k in October. I hope I can convince my 14 year old daughter to run it too. |
