My husband and myself have decided to get fit, were not over weight (i lost 7 stone and have kept that weight off for 4 years) but we are unfit!
We did our first walk/run this morning and did just under 2miles, are we walking/running too slow ? Is that an average ?or does that not matter at first ?
Thanks Tracey
Congratulations on taking the first step! Do not worry about speed. Just getting up and running is the goal for now. You can worry about speed afterwards. There is no right or wrong speed so long as it is right for you. Best of luck!
dont worry right now about distance at all...your only focus is getting through the programme...and it sounds like you've made a great start...well done you and well done hubby!!
Welcome aboard and well done on your first run. You don't need to worry about times/distance at this early stage. Just run at a pace that allows you to complete each stage. Good luck and keep us informed on how you get on 
Thank you all for replying, and thanks for the advice will stop worrying and start enjoying it!
Will let you know how the first week goes

Welcome and well done for getting started - often the hardest bit! As the others have said, no need to worry about speed or distance at the moment. Just concentrate on doing what Laura says. You will see from other posts that the usual advice is to take it slow and steady so that you complete all the run. How nice to be doing it as a couple. Good luck.
Welcome to the community! As others have said, getting out of the door and actually starting the programme is the hardest part about it, but well done, you've made a fantastic choice in starting C25K! Definitely don't worry about distance or speed, just go at a comfortable pace. Good luck to you both!
Welcome to the forum and well done on getting your first run out of the way. It's already been said but I'll add my two pennorth, - no need to worry about speed or distance at the moment. Just focus on completing each session and keep it slow and steady. It's essential to take at least one rest day (non-running day) between each run as this is the time when the muscles recover and repair themselves to come back just that little bit stronger each time. You can do other forms of low impact exercise on the rest days, such as walking, cycling, swimming, yoga, Pilates, etc., in short, anything that doesn't use the same muscles as running. Good luck to you and your husband for your next run and best wishes.
Good luck to you both and well done on making a start to getting fit.
Well done, take it from this 75 year old this is a great program. My husband and I have been out there for a couple of years in July this year, still slow but out there keeping fit. Do what Laura says and you will be fine, I still put her on occasionally for encouragement. Pat
Well done to you both on starting the plan. Speed does not matter at this point unless u want to win a race and seeing as you are not racing but exercising to become fitter, you will just tire yiurself out too early. You want a nice steady pace.
Now you have your rest day before you both get out there. Well done once again. This will change your life in so many ways for the better.
