    Azatol, Great job so far. The program does an amazing job of having you ready to take the next step, and W5D3 was something I was dreading for about three weeks leading up to it, but it's also the most accomplished feeling I've had in the running I've done over the past six months. I felt more proud of finishing that 20 minutes than I did my first 5K. It's a huge milestone, and one that I will not forget. Keep up the good work!

  2. Hey Azatol, You said it perfectly. Caprice, run, at your pace, you are you and you do what you can do at your pace. If you run slow, you run slow, I RUN slow. You are lapping everyone sitting on the couch, go for what YOU can do! Hugs

  3. Everyone is different from my studying. All the guides I read say run as slow as you possibly can. Build endurance and speed comes later. I know I'm a 6 foot tall man and my jog is 5.45mph with my walking phases at 2.9mph. I have a very short inseam. All I know is it's working for me. I don't gauge things on what the books say. If I can lift a little more or run 2 feet further than yesterday(ok, 2 days ago because I always take a rest day but it just doesn't sound as cool as "since yesterday"), I'm making forward progress and as long as you're making forward progress, you win. My doctor once told me "It took you over 40 years to get in the condition you're in. You can't expect to reverse that in 2 weeks". To sum it up. I say keep doing exactly what you're doing. If you make progress, WIN. Else you can re-evaluate and make adjustments as needed. I'm sure KellyAnn will weigh in with the voice of experience and wisdom. Mine are just thoughts from the overactive mind of a newbie.
