    I recently finished and would be happy to answer any questions you might have along the way!

    The biggest challenge I had was forcing myself to slow down. I had it in my head that anything slower than 6mph was too slow and tried for a few months on my own to run 5k's consistently without much success. I finally decided to stop letting my pride get the best of me, slowed down to 5.7mph (really, it's only 30s slower... who cares!!!), and started the program. I started around week 4 or 5 since I was already running a bit, but did stick to the plan otherwise. One month later and I'm consistently running 3+ miles and by adding some interval training I even managed to increase my pace!

    So yeah.. go slower than you think you should! You will build a base so much faster this way. The speed will come, I promise!
