Running again, C25K for the second time

[Nicky04]

So I´ve started again. Hurray! It´s been almost a year since I started the C25K programme with Laura (love her!). I graduated (30 mins, definitely not 5K, though) in spring. Now I aim for 5k in 30 mins. I decided to do the programme again, starting with W1, and I am using it as interval training - running slowly (my pace is currently 5,2 kmph) and running faster (my target pace is 10 kmph, which is far, but I am trying). I hope I will progress significantly in 9 weeks Have you tried?

Wow - that's a great post - I've wondered exactly this myself, as I'm into week 8 for the second time after a few years break from running but never made the 5k in 30 mins mark either.

Well done you...you have a plan.

Many folk find consolidation of the 30 minute runs is excellent, new routes, shorter runs, longer runs and then the C25k+ podcasts are excellent for bringing you forward
