MandyB123 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Just managed to complete week 8 of couch 210k, running for a full 30 minutes and feeling proud of myself! Going from struggling to run for 1 minute to doing 30 is an achievement and if I can do it anyone can. Keep up the good work!! However, my 30 minute run was not 5k, think I managed 5k in total including my warm up and cool down. I'm now wondering whether I should continue 30 minute runs increasing my speed to get me up to 5k or move on to week 9 and train for the 10k. My ultimate aim is to run 10k but I've got until August to achieve that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 My ultimate aim is to run 10k And this is your answer! I have been told that best way to increase the speed is to increase your distance per week. Other way is to do interval training. That is what I am doing - repeating C25K from the start but with bigger incline and faster speed for walks and runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
