dairey Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 hi all! I've been finally sticking to c25k this time round and just finished week 7 today. I have some knee issues and have had to battle shin splints on several occasions throughout. I was wondering if I'm trying to prep for a 10k that's in April (I'm setting a stretch goal of completing in under an hour - was 1 hr 36 last year with no training). Im just curious if it's better to continue the program and move to the 10 k potion once I'm done the 5k and continue to increase time running and distance, or if I should repeat the longer run days at the end of this one until I can actually hit 5 k in the allotted time. Week 7 I'm averaging 1.87 miles a day which isn't too close to what it should be for 25 min jogging and 10 min walking. I usually jog at about 3.4 on the treadmill. Any advice is appreciated Kirstie77 and Kam1908 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1908 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 This is actually a good segue to my question. What speed is everyone jogging? I just finished week 3 and I've been jogging at a 6 on the treadmill and decreasing to 5.4 by the end of my second 3 minutes. I usually do my brisk walk on 3.4. dairey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djplong Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 For what it's worth... I was finding myself at about 7 minutes per km - doing a 5K would have been about 35:00. My goal was 30:00. When I finally ran my first race (3 weeks ago), I came in at around 37 minutes. Last Sunday I ran another 5K and came in at 32:46. (For reference, the 10K I ran 3 weeks ago came in at 1:15:38 - the day after running the 5K and walking an additional 9 miles all over Walt Disney World). Now that I'm training for a half-marathon, I switched my profiles over to imperial units and I'm somewhere over 10 minutes/mile when I do 4/1 (4 minute jog, 1 minute walk) intervals.
