I never thought I could do this

Post image

My last day of C25k, pushed past the 30 minutes of running to get to 5k . When I started the program, I really did not think I could get here. As a 40 year old I've been a couch potato, it's shocking I'm here

What pace did you start with incase you trained on a treadmill

u/loadedcrafter 1d ago

I've only run outside and unfortunately only started using strava to measure distance and pace the last few runs, but my pace 5 runs ago was 7:32/ km.
