W5R2 done ... when should or if I think about distance

So that was fantastic I really didn’t want the walk in the middle as I felt quite comfortable then it took me a few minutes to gain my rhythm back on the second run.

So far though I’ve not even given the distance covered a second thought but just had a look now and I’m only covering just over 3.6k I’m not bothered as for me it’s about fitness but I was curious

Thanks and have a great week

Your distance is fine the point is you're finishing each run at the moment distance comes later 😊

As mentioned in the guide to the plan C25K does not demand you to cover any specific distance of run at any particular pace....it is solely duration based.

You are doing great.

Thanks I’ve reread and I’m feeling quite pleased with myself

this is why i have given up before when other apps change to distances and i got discouraged.

i love this app also because it can be used on my fone without using data :)
