I am curious what others are using as their running and walking paces on the treadmill? I am using 3 for walking and 5 for running and i am 4'11 and that is really cooking along for me!

I am so happy with my progress so far, other than a bad excertion headache that lasted 2 days, i have not had no problems other than that.

    Yay you! The first week! You should be proud of yourself.

    I was slower than a 20 minute mile average for the several weeks. That's around the high 3s for walking and around mid 4 for running.

    Congratulations on your first week! I cannot stress how much I love this program.

    I walk at a 2.9 and "run" at a 3.4 ... hehe. It's okay. I'll speed up eventually I'm sure!
