Wahoo, finally completed Week 6!

For a couple of weeks I’ve just been aiming for 1.5 miles as running non stop for 25 minutes felt too hard. It’s been the first time I’ve had to repeat runs so many times. Running on my own since lockdown has made it more difficult for me to keep my pace down so I’ve been running faster but not able to keep up endurance. Finally, last night I felt more focused and tried a really slow pace. I did it!! I think running on an evening when it is cooler agrees with me too.

Anyone else feel like they’re running so slow to finish a run? W7 will give me the opportunity to improve I guess.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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

and includes advice on the recommended pace for C25k............one at which you can speak clear, ungasping sentences as you run.

Enjoy your journey.

Well done, yes as the runs got longer we went slower so we could make the time and then eventually what felt really slow was faster than our first few weeks
