Sunshineflower95 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'm working through week 7, and on one hand I'm incredibly excited as I've never run 25 minutes at a time - a huge accomplishment for me! On the other hand, I'm so, so, SO slow... I just recently took to using the treadmill now and then and the fastest I can go and keep up for the whole 25 minutes is 4.5. Advice?

Speedingsloth Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Congratulations on making it all the way!! Sounds like you're doing really well! I'm definitely slower than you, I think it takes me a whole 40 minutes to do 5kms(I haven't measured accurately). However, I'm just incredibly excited by the fact that I'm able to run 30 whole minutes without stopping ◡̈ Don't worry about your speed for you, you're building up endurance, and after week 8 you can work on your speed.

djplong Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Don't worry about the time. You get the endurance first - speed will come later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Sunshine, I completed week 7 with the same speed 4.5. I started raise my pace slowly by 0.2 on week 8. Week 8, day 3 - my speed is 5.1. But you have to do it in your terms: set the goal, reach it and ... repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natcatvet Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm still slow. It gets easier though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
