C25K on treadmill confused about speeds

[Success2020]

Hi everyone, I have been doing the programme on a treadmill I'm currently on w2r3.

I just started reading about this and saw that to complete the 5k in 30mins you need to be at a speed 6.2. I do the last 5min walk at a speed of 4.0 with a incline so I don't reach the 5k mark.

I have been setting my speeds at 5.5 walking and 7.2 running am I going to fast?

Welcome to the forum and well done on

your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

You don't have to run 5k in 30 minutes to graduate from C25k...........you only need to run for 30 minutes 3 times.

The recommended pace is one at which you can speak clear ungasping sentences as you run. This pace is different for each individual.

Enjoy your journey.
