Question about C25K weeks 5 and 6

I just finished week 6, day 1. I admit I, like you, found it a bit daunting when I looked ahead at about the same place you did, but I did not adjust the program, and made it through ok. I did notice that I slowed down and concentrated more on endurance and form, rather than just making it through the workout. I also noticed, starting in week five, that after starting the second run, after the first walking break, that I felt like I was running sluggish and "out of tempo", so that 20 minute run without a walking break did not seem so daunting after all.

For disclosure purposes, I have a long history of stress fractures, and am getting back into running after two years of Fosomax, and for that reason I have not hesitated to take as many days off between runs as I thought I needed, so in the beginning I was, perhaps running 2x per week instead of three, and even now I probably get in about five runs in a two week period, so I'm really stretching the nine week program out a little longer. Perhaps that has made it a little easier for me to stick to the program as written.
