So you were melting, but well done on that 5K "hard walk " that is a very good time for a 5k walk at any time, let alone on a hot day, sub 10 minutes per Km pace, you now deserve a nice cold drink of whatever you want.

Thank you. I’m only on week 2 of C25K, however been walking 5k everyday for a fair few weeks now. I have lost 16lb and going strong but really want to be able to run.

I have a metromone beat app, it tells me my cadence, or steps per minute, if I set it at 140 steps a minute that is a good walk at around 52 minutes for a 5k, if I set it at 175 steps a minute I can run a 5K around 32/33 minutes.
