Week 3 Run 2 - speed help

[DecafRunner]

Hello all, I know speed isn't as big a deal as doing the run but if I did want to improve my speed, what is the best way to do that?

Don't worry about speed when you're doing C25K, once you graduate and run several 30 minute consolidation runs you can THEN go onto the Stepping stones podcasts with Laura, they are pace, stamina and speed, for the moment just do all the runs and weeks of C25K at your own comfortable pace.

That makes me feel much better. I am a little embarrassed by how slow I am.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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

and explains the recommended pace. This is about endurance. Speed comes much later.

Enjoy your journey.
