I finished c25k 3 weeks ago and went straight to New Zealand where I've found the heat too much to run in.My first attempt lasted 15 mins, the 2nd barely 10 mins but now in week 3 I went to the treadmill with aircon and did just fine, my first time on one not sure if I could do that often though but it was a means to an end! I now have 4 weeks to train regularly for my first official 5k!
