Does it matter how fast you jog as long as you complete each run? Thanks Cheryl

It really doesn’t. Many on here will tell you the slower the better! Have fun and good luck

My run pace is so much slower than my walking pace - my son overtook me and he was dawdling!

The guide to the plan explains the recommended pace, which is based on your ability to speak clearly as you run. It will be different for each runner.

Slow as you need to, to complete the run. Better slow than getting injured or discouraged!
