    Hi all, I've been doing the C25k on the treadmill and was wondering what sort of speed everyone run at?

    I have to do week 5 run 3 this evening (the first 20 minute solid run!), and I'm really nervous about doing it. I did the two 8 minute runs on Sunday and is was a real struggle. Week 4 was so hard I re-did week 4, 3 times has the it was too hard, which now that I've caught up with it and been eating healthier its been ok and I moved onto week5.

    I'm doing my warmup walk at 5.0 and run at 8.0, with my inbetween runs walk speed at 4.0, which feels like a good solid speed, but utterly exhausting - am I going too fast? too slow? I'm male and have decently short legs weighing at present 16st

    I just finished this day on Monday of this week, and today I'll be on Week 6 Day 1.

    I walk at 3.2, then jog at a 4.6. That is, mph.

    Try running outside, I feel it's too easy to try and go to fast on a treadmill when the belt is moving, outside on the trails/tarmac you get a much more natural pace.
