I'm Back !!

[liner1]

well after an 18 month break due to injury and discovering long term issues with my hips and core stability I am attempting C25K from scratch !!

The only difference is that this time it is on a recently purchased treadmill as I have been advised against road running.

I am doing my brisk walk at 6kph and my runs at 8kph , does this sound about right ???

Lovely to be back and see this forum still going strong

Sounds like a good pace for starting roughly 4mph walking and 5mph running. Welcome back just start slow and see how you get on. It's the time not the speed that matters

Welcome back! Like GF said - at this point in time, the speed doesn't matter, so go with whatever works for you.

I rarely use the treadmill but when I do, I do the brisk walk at 6kph and run at 8 to 8.5kph. That is a bit slower slower than when I run outside but I don't feel safe going too fast on the treadmill (and always feel dizzy for a bit when I get off).

That would give you 5k in about 37-38 minutes.

I think you just have to experiment with what suits you. Completing the runs is more important than running fast.

Good luck
