Whew, made it through. Only one more workout to go. W9D1 is to run 3.1 miles straight then I am done with the training program. 12/9 I will run an "official" 5K race. Been tough though. Really would like my time to get better. Can never get better than around 10 minute mile.

    A 10 min mile is a good pace... especially after C25k. What I've been told is the speed comes with time. I'm starting week 7 today. Last week I was able to hold a 12 min mile pace during my run. I'm good with that. At this point a 10 min mile is my goal. Yes, faster would be better, but that will come with time and strength. :)

    Keep up the great work!

    I'm on W7D1 next too and can anticipate finishing the program without ever achieving the full 5k as I keep a steady 5mph on treadmill. I think I will wait until I have done W9D3 and then either increase the distance or try and speed up.
