Afternoon all,
Did c25k last year and finished in October, managed to get up to 8k by December. I was running anywhere between 7:00 and 7:30 per km.
I’ve done the odd run here and there between but nothing of note and only ever done two runs within a couple of days of each other.
I started again, again last night and managed 3.2km at 7:30 but it was a struggle.
I think the challenge for me is mental as well as physical, c25k gave me a safety net that I knew I could do the next run, because I’d managed all the previous runs.
I want to start the c25k again, but don’t really want to start from scratch again if I can help it. Given I did just short of 25 mins last night it seems to make sense to start at week 7, however I’m wondering if I should start earlier to build “proper” fitness rather than just struggling along for 25 minutes.
I’d like to get quicker too but I think that’s a challenge for another day!
Has anyone else had any experience of starting mid-programme and can offer some advice?
Thank you,
NM
