Week 1 done admittedly 2 on treadmill but weather isn’t wonderful. Feeling good looking forward to next weeks runs. I’ve no idea of the speed I should have treadmill on for walking and running. Today was 6k and 10k does that sound about right ?

Well done.

The speed is nothing to do with numbers it is to do with your fitness levels, as explained in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

You need to be able to speak clearly as you run........if you can't, you are going too fast.

Thanks I have now read that perhaps I should have a week ago.

Im in exactly the same position. Week one done, twice on the treadmill because of the weather, but do you know what, we've done it, speed doesn't matter... we've done it, onwards and upwards I say
