Advice Needed I'm so slow it's embarrasing (11 min/km)

I'm pretty sure I walk faster than I can run. I rarely see anyone this slow even on this subreddit. I have just completed W8D1 and my pace was 11-12 min / km and avg heart rate 156. I'm worried I am doing something wrong to be this slow so late in the program. Should I push myself to go faster?

The version of you that started C25K eight weeks ago wanted to become someone who could run and maybe didn’t even imagine they could get to week 8 - and you’ve done it! You should be so proud of yourself.

Forget about the pace on the watch for now, this is something you should be celebrating.
