The right speed to run at is one where you can still breathe enough to hold down a conversation. This varies a lot between individuals, so don’t worry about the stats - just enjoy the journey x

Well done.

Your speed is based purely on your ability to breathe fully and deeply, as explained in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

You should be able speak clear ungasping sentences both as you brisk walk and as you run.

Asking what others do is pretty futile we have teenagers and octagenarians on this forum.
