Working on my speed now, and upping the pace. I have hit the point of running 8 mins straight (this program is 1 week shorter than the one with Laura). Definitely getting harder, but keeping that pace steady!!!
I don’t have as much to write about these days, but am still here!

Just take this progression gently. This is after all for enjoyment and not endurance If you are having fun that is fine
We do set ourselves challenges, but need to be sure that the challenge is not one where we are pushing ourselves too hard. It sounds like you have the right idea
Have you had a peek at the C25K+ podcasts too...many of the Graduates use and still use them. Challenging and great fun. Speed, is one of my favourites, (shhhh)...as is Stamina, both useful for moving us onwards distance and pace wise...but not for the faint hearted
Are you still running at a conversational pace? There is no need to go faster. Don't make the newbie runner mistake of trying to run hard on every run.......that will not maximise your development.
