Coach 5k plan 1.61km runs

So I'm currently into week 4 of the Amy coach 5k plan.

And it started with a benchmark run. Afterwards 2 weeks of walk/run repeats. Going from

 (5 minute walk/7 minute run ) x3 /2 minute cooldown to

(1 minute walk /7 minute run) x3 /2 minute cooldown

Loved it and I was excited for the next step.

But then in week 4 I had to do a run or 1.61km.

I got a regular run instruction, nothing special. So I did that.

But now I already did it twice and now she is increasing the distance to 2.35 km and then again a 1.61 km and then a long run of 4km.

Afterwards again a 1.61 km.

Why all those 1.61km? It's just a 10 minute workout. Seems so strange that she is increasing and then decreasing again.

Or is it normal?
