Betflip Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi there, I'm 38, from Portugal, and entered 2017 focusing on making some changes to my life. I hated running because I always felt I lack the endurance to run. Now I look back and I see that I was missing the experience, some guidance and discipline to work out properly. I have been reading a lot about running and I started running/walking since New Year. I have been losing some weight and right now I'm able to run/walk 5k within 40min. I haven't tried to do a 5k non-stop and I do my workout in the woods, which means mostly rough ground and different elevations. What should I do next? Should I continue to increase my running time and distance or do I start to work on speed and a better time for a 5k? Thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 It depends what is your goal. You can go for 10K distance (more endurance) or increase your agility for the 5K distance. I would suggest to complete c25K starting may be from week 4 or 5. Betflip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, right now my main goal is to find the strengh to keep going. That's one of the reasons I searched for a running forum and decided to sign in through the app. I am happy to see the results so far. I will follow your advice and go through the app to complete the 5k non-stop and then maybe start training to improve my time. Thank you Torus_ot!
