Now that I have finished the programme - I have started doing a "long run" each week, increasing by 1klm per week until I get to 18 klm - as preparation for the 14K Sydney City to Surf in August. However, I intend to do this as a run/walk with a ratio around 2/1. I am not going to even try to run 14K non-stop ( I may be old - but I'm not stoopid!! )
But I do like the 5K Parkruns - and although I "can" run the full 5ks non-stop in 35 minutes, I have decided to repeat the C25K programme - only this time I will only do 2 days of it per week and I will put a lot more effort and energy into the runs. During the first time, I was anxious about being able to complete each week and took it gently. This time I will put more effort into it - and feel that I will be able to do this. In many respects, it will be like doing an extended version of the "SPEED" podcast.

Thanks for posting! Please update us on what worked for you in regards to repeating the entire program with a different focus. I am almost done with week 8. I'm very proud of myself, but I'm very slow. So I'm thinking of repeating the entire program again (after I complete week 9), but this time focusing on energy and speed instead of doubt and amazement like the first time. Thoughts?
