Jgunner18 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I've been enjoying C25K and making progress. I'm on week 6 and am now running 20 min but I'm not making the distance only the time. When I push myself I become out of breath. Should I repeat previous workouts or just keep going doing the time but not the distance??

torus_ot Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Keep going! You can work on the distance (speed) after C25K Laura J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura J Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I agree, work on running the time and the distance can be achieved! I have repeated weeks 6-7 over occasionally and it helps. I don't sweat the distance, it's just a number. Your doing great, just let that couch miss you as you get your time in on the runs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyClarke Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I had the same thought. I can run for 20 minutes, but I'm not running for 2 miles. Isn't that a little crazy for a beginning runner to think that we can run a 10 minute mile? Right now I'm lucky if I can do a 15 minute mile, but I'm working on time, not distance right now. I signed up for a 5K in a month, so I know I have to get there. And I will, but slooooooooowly. Wendy Crabapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jct422 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Wendy, you might consider celebrating your success!! For me, never a runner, I find it hurtful when the voice in my ear tells me to run for one minute. My hope is to catch up to you one day while running 2 miles. Hey, there is another success, your keeping many of us in your rear view. However, With training you will not find me there in the near future. Congratulations Crabapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamagrl Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I just finished week 5, day 3. Very proud of myself for being able to do 20 minutes straight, but I'm not making the distance goals either. I know it will get there. When a 20 minute run becomes easy, you can start working on speed to get the distance. I don't have allot of reserves at the end of that 20 minutes yet.
